Current Weather Conditions for February 16th, 2012

Alright, although a beautiful it has been a long day and I am hungry. Let me give you a run down on the current weather conditions and my forecast for tomorrow.

Take note of the barb at the top of the lines extending from the circle. It's direction is currently indicating W winds around 5 mph. The filled in circle is showing the cloud cover currently, which is a think layer of cumulus congestus and altocumulus. Presently the temperature is 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Tonight expect temperatures to drop to the upper teens for the low and cloud cover to continue. As for tomorrow, I predict we may see a slight change in wind direction. Instead of due West winds, winds may come from a more Northwest direction. If you look at the link to a 12 hour loop of the water vapor satellite image for today it is evident that that the continental polar jetstream has been gaining strength

Despite the addition of the continental polar jetstream to our present W winds temperatures should still reach the mid 30's for the high tomorrow.
