Its just after noon and my predictions for today were pretty accurate, it got a little warmer, the sky is pretty clear with the sun shining, no rain, however winds shifted a little farther than I thought and are now coming in from the southeast rather than east at 14 mph.  Current temperature is 58 degrees with the sky having hardly any cloud cover, but there are some cirrus clouds.  The relative humidity is 24% and the dew point is 21 degrees so again the air isn't very saturated.  Barometric pressure rose a little from yesterday and is now 1030.3 and steady.  The jetstream shows that trough bringing in the cold air recently has shifted east and now we sort of have an inverse trough which should bring us some warm weather for the next few days.  The current surface map shows that the storms on the east are about done, but there is a low pressure occluded front that is diminishing however has some rain with it.  My prediciton for tomorrow is a cooler day with increasing clouds and for winds to shift back towards the east/northeast and a slight chance of some rain.
