3/2/11 Weather Update

This morning's walk to campus was very, very cold with wind chills below zero. As I predicted yesterday, temperatures today were overall much cooler than earlier in the week and it is easy to see why in the photos below. The trough is very evident as it dips down through the center of the United States in the current weather map. The skies started out mostly clear today, but around 2 o'clock today the sky was about 90% covered with altostratus clouds. I predicted clearer skies than it was today, but was quickly proven wrong when I walked out of class today. Winds were also fairly strong today out of the north and northwest as I predicted.

For tomorrow, temperatures could warm up slightly as the trough could potentially move east and bring less cold air from up north. Winds will most likely stay the same as they were today in the lower teens out of the south. Snow could also be a possibility with precipitation developing on the west coast currently.
