Its currently almost 3 pm and its another crappy day like it has been for the last few days; cold, windy, cloudy, rainy.  Current temperature is 38 degrees although it feels like 33 and the sky is again completely covered with clouds that look like possibly cumulonimbus clouds.  The weind has died down from earlier and is now at 7 mph coming from the southwest.  Relative humidity is 63% and the dew point is 27 degrees and barometric pressure rose from the last time I checked and is now at 1030.2 and rising slowly.  The current jet stream has a pretty large trough in it in the middle of the country which is a good reason for these cold temperatures.  The current surface map is pretty plain with the only thing going on being a band of large storms in the southeast behind a large low pressure stationary front.  As for us we don't have anything really by us other than a high pressure dome which hopefully will bring us some warmer temperatures again and clearer skies.  For tomorrow, I predict a warmer day with clouds dispersing and for winds to shift towards the north with no precipitation.
