Its currently just after noon and the rain has finally let up after storming all morning.  Current temperature is 54 degrees but it feels like 45 and even colder with the strong winds we are getting from the east at 36 mph, these winds are a good reason for this storm.  The sky is completley occluded with nimbostratus clouds still bringing us this rain.  Barometric pressure is 1029.6 and now falling rapidly and relative humidity is 87% with a dew point of 50 degrees, all factors in this storm.  The jetstream looks like it has a zonal flow for the most part, however there is a large trough in the west and sort of an inverse trough over us which should bring warm air to us.  When looking at the current surface map, you can see us getting pounded with heavy rain brought in by a large low pressure stationary front followed by another one with more rain.  My prediction for tomorrow is a warm day, with clouds breaking up and a chance of rain with winds dying down and shifting towards the north.
