Its currently about noon and it's another nice day.  The sky is a little occluded but the sun is starting to come out and it's very humid.  It's currently 66 degrees although it feels warmer because of the humidity.  There is a slight breeze coming from the north at 3 mph.  Barometric pressure rose some from yesterday and is now at 1029.7 and steady.  The humidity is at 84% and the dew point is 61 degrees so there is a good chance of rain soon.  The jetstream looks pretty odd, with a large cyclone in the middle of the country which is associated with the dryline that shows up in the same place on the current surface map.  The surface map also shows a large low pressure stationary front passing by with some rain with it as well.  There are a number of high pressure systems around the country so look for the wind to shift to the east tomorrow or today.  My prediction for tomorrow is a cooler day with increasing cloud cover and some rain in the next 6 or so hours.
