Current Conditions
Temperature: 43.5 F
Dew Point: 28.9 F
Humidity: 56%
Pressure: 30.32 in Hg (steady)
Wind: SSW at 6 mph
Cloud Coverage: Partially Cloudy (Cumulus and Cumulus Humilis)

Well, as predicted on Sunday's blog post, the weather did take a turn for the worse. A radical jet stream brought some cold air from the maritime polar air mass, and we were left with cold and wet weather. Recently, south winds have brought in more moderate temperatures. Given the observed cloud coverage and wind direction, we might expect precipitation--possibly even thunderstorms--later tonight or early tomorrow mourning. Honestly, I find stormy weather exciting to observe, so I'm hoping for some thunder and lightening. The map below indicates an incoming low pressure system and warm front, which further supports my prediction for stormy weather. In time, conditions may be right for convection.
