Its currently just after 11 am and it is a very nice day outside.  My predictions were pretty accurate today in predicting warmer temperatures, relatively the same wind direction and no precipitation.  Current temperature is 47 degrees with about 0% cloud coverage, the only clouds I notice are a few cirrus clouds.  The wind has shifted a little bit from yesterday to the northwest and is coming in at 5 mph.  The winds may have shifted this direction because of the high pressure system that passed. The barometric pressure is 1029.7 and rising slowly.  The dew point is 31 degrees and the relative humidity is 49% so the air isn't very saturated meaning that the rain I thought we may get in the next few days may not be coming.  There isn't a whole lot going on when looking at the current surface map other than a cold front to the southwest of us that won't affect us at all.  When looking at the jet stream, there isn't any troughs at all so there isn't any cold air masses coming in to our area so our temperatures should be warm again tomorrow.  As for the rest of my prediction for tomorrow, I think it's going to be a lot like it is today with perhaps more cloud cover.
