5/11/11 Weather Update

Today's temperatures remained in the 60s and 70s as I predicted. I also woke up to some thunder storms this morning as a result of the mid latitude cyclone. Winds are currently at moderate speeds out of the south and southeast as I predicted as well. Nimbostratus clouds covered the sky for most of the morning.

For tomorrow, we can expect much of the same as another low pressure system moves over the area bringing more rain and possible thunderstorms. Winds will shift back to the east and expect temperatures to remain in the same range as they were today.

5/10/11 Weather Update

Today was by far one of the warmest day's of the year so far. Temperatures in fact reached up into the lower 80s with temps maintaining in the 70s for most of the day. Clouds were mostly clear with several altostratus clouds. Winds were also out of the East at moderate speeds which indicates an approaching low pressure system. There was no precipitation today.

As I mentioned above, there is a low pressure system approaching that could very well produce some rain and thunderstorms tomorrow. With these warm temperatures, the storms definitely have a chance of being severe since storms thrive off of warm weather. Winds will shift to the south and SE as the low pressure approaches. Temperatures should remain in the upper 60s and 70s.

5/4/11 Weather Update

Today definitely felt more like spring. The temperatures were finally breaking 60 and cloud cover was kept below 10% for most of the day. There were several cumulus clouds and some altostratus clouds later in the day. Winds were fairly moderate mostly out of the S and SW today. No precipitation occured.

For tomorrow, there could be a chance for some showers and t-storms scattered throughout the day as a mid latitude cyclone approaches the area. There should not be anything significant as there is already an occluded front forming from the center low. Winds will shift to the east and southeast for most of the day as the low approaches. Temperatures should be in about the 50s. It looks like no golf for me though in the near future, not because of bad weather but because of a $1,200 repair that is required on my car for Friday. Was not the best news this morning...

5/2/11 Weather Update

For the first posting in May, I am really starting to wonder if Spring will ever come. However the rest of the week is starting to look promising. Today however still feels like we are in early March. Temperatures today never felt like they broke into the 40s, mostly due to the fact that we are currently in a trough. Attributing to the cold was a NW wind bringing that cold air from the arctic air mass. Skies were also 100% covered with stratus clouds dominating. Wind speeds however were at much lower speeds compared to what I experienced this weekend in Green Bay. It is always interesting to watch a softball game (my girlfriend pitches for St. Norbert) when there are 30+ mph winds.

For tomorrow we can expect skies to clear up as a high pressure dome moves into the area. As a result of the clear skies, more sunlight should increase the air temperature hopefully into the upper 40s and lower 50s. Expect no precipitation and winds out of the S at moderate speeds. Hoping to get out golfing tomorrow morning as well.
