4/25/11 Weather Update

Today's weather was amazing. I actually went to the driving range for the first time today this year. It was nice to get the clubs out and hit a couple golf balls. It was mostly clear for most of the day and the temperatures have been mostly in the the very comfortable range of the 60s. Wind speeds were pretty high today as well out of the E and NE. There were a few cumulus clouds here which turned over to stratus currently.

For tomorrow conditions should be cooler than they were today and also with high winds like today. Rain is a possibility and skies should be mostly cloudy. Expect the winds to be out of the NE.

4/22/11 Weather Update

Today's weather was fairly interesting with very strong winds from the NE followed by a steady rainfall, which I will take over snow. Skies were mostly 100 percent covered for most of the day. Most of the clouds being stratus and altostratus. Temperatures were mostly in the upper 30s and lower 40s, any colder and it might actually be snow that we are getting now. The amount of rain could also be a lot worse including thunderstorms. The mid latitude cyclone that is currently centered in Kansas however is dying of significantly with a fairly big occluded front extending north into the Dakotas.

For tomorrow, we can expect skies to remain mostly cloudy and temperatures to remain about the same. No precipitation though is expected. Expect winds to be out of the W and NW at moderate speeds.

4/20/11 Weather Update

On my way to campus this morning at 7 am, snow was coming down at a somewhat decent pace and was actually accumulating on the ground. The snow on the ground however did not last very long at all. By 9 it was all gone and temperatures were starting to warm up slightly. Overall today however the temperatures were fairly cold as I predicted and stratus clouds dominated the sky. Winds are currently out of the N and NW as I predicted as well.

For tomorrow we can expect skies to clear up quite a bit with a high pressure system moving in. This could also allow for warmer temps as more sunshine is let in. Winds may also shift to a SW or S orientation if the system moves at a northwest track. No precipitation is expected.

4/19/11 Weather Update

Today was not exactly what I expected as far as precipitation goes. From the looks on the radar I was expecting quite a bit of snowfall but there was not a single snowflake until a few hours ago. There is now a decent amount of sleet/snow coming down. Winds have been coming out of the east as I predicted at moderate speeds. Stratus clouds have dominated the sky and temperatures have been in the mid 30s for most of the day.

For tomorrow we can expect some more snow in the morning and then winds shifting to the NW as the system moves through. Skies will continue to be mostly cloudy with temps once again staying in the low 30s. I could really go for some warm weather any day now.

4/18/11 Weather Update

I left for Green Bay on Thursday and experienced really extreme winds while watching my girlfriend play softball. Winds were consistently 25 mph out of the north and reached gusts of about 40. It is really unfortunate to experiencing such cold weather for the middle of April. Today was a little better. Clouds were mostly cloudy during the day and is currently dominated by altostratus clouds producing the halo around the sun. Temperatures were mostly in the mid 40s and was fairly comfortable. Winds are currently out of the NE at moderate speeds with a Colorado low moving in.

For tomorrow we can expect some precipitation in the late afternoon as the low moves into the area. Winds will possibly shift to the E later in the day indicating the low has reached us. Temperatures will most likely decrease a bit into the upper 30s and lower 40s.

4/13/11 Weather Update

Today was another comfortable day, but cloud cover reached 100% for most of the day with altostratus clouds. I was pretty accurate with the temperatures being in the 50s again but was inaccurate with the cloud cover. Winds are currently out of the SW at calm speeds. Winds early in the day however were coming out of the north. There was no precipitation today.

For tomorrow, we can again expect the temps to drop a bit into the upper 40s and lower 50s. Skies should also again be fairly cloudy with winds out of the NE. No precipitation is expected.

4/12/11 Weather Update

Today was another comfortable day as I predicted. The skies were mostly clear as I said with cirrostratus clouds here and there throughout the day. Temperatures were in fact warmer than I anticipated and reached into the upper 60s with 67 being the high. There was no precipitation today and winds were at fairly calm speeds out of the W and SW.

For tomorrow we can expect cooler temperatures as a cold front moves through and possibly a slight chance of rain after the front moves through. Winds will shift to the NW at moderate speeds with partly cloudy skies.
