Tuesday's Observations

Today's temperature is 33 deg F with a wind chill of 24 deg F. The dew point is 26 deg F creating a relative humidity of 75%. There is a wind coming from the east at 12 mph. The barometer is at 1022.9 mb. The skies are about 50% covered with altostratus clouds. This map from the UNISYS weather shows that the eye of this low pressure system continues to be stationary over central Iowa. The winds continue in a counterclockwise direction. I continue to forecast for snow and nimbostratus clouds to occur over night dropping several inches of snow throughout this slow moving system.
