Its currently just after 1pm and my prediction for today was a little off.  I was right in the little temperature change and no precipitation however I thought winds were going to shift to the west and I thought that there would be more cloud cover.  Current weather conditions are the temperature is at 34 degrees with very few clouds in the sky which appear to be altocirrus.  Winds have shifted to the northeast although it's a very light breeze at 3 mph due to the high pressure system that just passed through.  Barometric pressure is about the same at 1030.3 and steady and the dew point is -1 degrees.  There isn't very much water vapor in the air but there is some coming in from the northwest.  The stationary front that is approaching looks like we are going to get some warmer weather coming up but may also bring some snow tonight.  For tomorrow I predict warmer temperatures with no clouds and again very little wind coming from the northeast.  I think it's going to snow tonight but not very much.

I haven't been able to do any weather blogs for the last week due to being in South Padre, Texas for 8 days, where the weather couldn't have been anymore opposite than what I noticed here.  Its currently about 12:30 pm and the temperature is a chilly 31 degrees with 0% cloud cover.  According to the Unisys surface map, there are no winds here however, I felt a slight breeze coming from the Northeast at what I would call about 5 mph.  Barometric pressure is 1030.3 and relative humidity is 19%.  When looking at the current surface map from weather.com, I notice a large stationary front coming in from the Montana, Colorado, Wyoming region that is pushing some rain or snow our way.  The front I think is still too far west to bring this weather tomorrow, but I'll be looking for it in the next few days.  For tomorrow, I predict little temperature change and more cloud cover with winds shifting to the west more because of the low pressure coming in.  I don't think that we'll see any precipitation today or tomorrow, but look for it in the next couple of days.

Its currently about 3:30 and again another nice day.  The was overcast earlier with stratus clouds however have now broken up and the sun is starting to shine.  I thought we were going to get some rain but that never happened.  Its currently 48 degrees and there is a 9 mph wind coming straight from the west.  Barometric pressure is 1029.6 and relative humidity is 73 degrees so I think that we'll see some rain sometime soon.  There is currently a huge stationary front which is mostly a cold front approaching that will soon bring in a cold air mass.  There looks like some rain coming behind this front as well so the rain I think will be coming.  So for tomorrow, I predict a cloudy day and windy with some rain and colder temperatures.

My prediction for today was pretty accurate although the rain came sooner than what I expected.  When I woke up this morning it was pretty chilly out with a lot of frost built up on my car and according to the Unisys current surface map, it was foggy, but that must have been earlier.  Its just after 11am and the temperature is 40 degrees but feels more like 38 according to the Phillips weather station.  There is relatively no cloud cover, however there are some cirrus clouds way up high.  There is no wind as well.  Relative humidity is 75% and the dew point is 33 degrees so we may be getting more rain.  Barometric pressure has continued to fall and is now at 1029.9 and still falling.  There is a stationary front moving in which looks like it's going to bring in some warm temperatures due to the warm part of the front.  This front appears like it's going to bring some more showers as well.  For tomorrow, I predict about the same temperatures and increasing clouds that may bring some rain.  Look for the winds to shift to the south because of the low pressure system.

From my blog yesterday, I predicted correctly that there wasn't any precipitation and temperatures warmed up a little bit with the increasing cloud cover.  Winds also did shift to the southwest.  Its now currently just after 1 pm and the temperature is 39 degrees outside with about 70% cloud cover with what seems to be stratus clouds.  Winds are coming from the southwest at 7 mph.  Barometric pressure fell to 1030 and is still falling and should continue to fall due to the low pressure system moving in from the Dakotas.  This low pressure system looks like it's going to bring in some rain showers as well.  For tomorrow, I predict warmer temperatures and some rain because of the low pressure system moving in and winds to pick up from the southwest again.

Its currently just after noon and it's pretty nice outside.  The temperature is 36 degrees although feels more like 30 with 0% cloud cover.  A gentle breeze is coming fromt he south at 3 mph.  The barometric pressure has risen to 1030.3 however is falling slowly.  The dew point is 21 degrees and the relative humidity is 56% so I don't think there will be any precipitation coming.  There is a stationary front coming in from the west which will hopefully bring in some warmer temperatures and perhaps some snow showers soon.  For tomorrow, I predict warmer temperatures with increasing cloud cover and no precipitaion.  Look for winds to shift to the southwest due to the high pressure system coming in.

The first thing I noticed this morning was that it was foggy outside due to the temeperature change overnight.  It was pretty cold this morning.  Its currently 11:30 and 32 degrees although it feels more like 27.  There is hardly any cloud cover as well.  There is a current 13 mph wind coming from the southeast, hopefully which will bring in some warm gulf air.  The barometric pressure is at 1029.9 and falling rapidly due to the low pressure warm front coming in from the Dakotas.  The dew point is 21 degrees and with this incoming low pressure warm front I think that it could bring our first rain of the year.  My prediction for tomorrow is a warm day with increasing sunshine and a chance of precipitation.
