Its currently 8 pm and its still very nice out.  Today was a beautiful day with little wind, plenty of sunshine, no rain and temperatures hitting over 80 degrees.  I thought we were going to maybe get some rain but I was glad I was wrong.  The temperature is still beautiful at 76 degrees although it feels a little cooler with a wind of 11 from the ESE.  Relative humidity is 58% and the dew point is 57 degrees but I think we are going to be getting a thunderstorm soon.  Barometric pressure is 1029.5 and steady.  The jetstream shows us in the middle of an inverse trough which is bringing us this warm air, however to the west of us there is a big trough bringing in some cool arctic air.  The current surface map shows us right in the middle of a low pressure warm front as well and it has some rain with it, however the storm appears to be dying.  There does look to be a pretty big storm coming in from the northwest as well which I think is going to hit us tonight or tomorrow bringing us some storms.  My prediction for tomorrow is for another hot day with precipitation likely and for winds to increase and shift towards the east.
