Alright, I am busy man today. As of Monday I started training for a marathon, so I have to take advantage of this beautiful weather today and get my workout in. Let's jump right into the weather. Currently the temperature is 35 degrees Fahrenheit. As I predicted it is not as cloudy as yesterday due to warm temperatures and lower dew point temperature.
If you caught the post yesterday you have seen this type of map before. For those that have not, this is what is know as an upper air-mass plot. Compared to the one I posted yesterday today's plot looks pretty similar. The polar continental air-mass is still affecting most of the contiguous United States but there are two differences. First is the center of low pressure has moved south and east slightly, partially over the Great Lakes. The second difference is the cold fronts we observed yesterday have been replaced by warm fronts. The second difference is what has caused less cloud cover today. Today there is partial cumulus and cirrus mixed cloud cover.
Wind direction should remain the same until late tonight and temperature drop to a low of 24 degrees Fahrenheit. Moving into early tomorrow we may see a high pressure system move in and the polar continental air-mass shift north of the Great Lakes region. If this happens wind from the ENE will likely blow through bringing a possibility of snow showers, which could leave around 1.5 inches of snow.
