Saturday Oberservations

Today the temperature is 55 deg F with a wind chill of 53.6 deg F. The dew point is at 47.7 deg F creating a relative humidity of  76%. The skies have been 100% covered by nimbostratus clouds all day. There was some light rain this afternoon but it has currently stopped. There is a wind from the east blowing at around 5 mph. The barometer is 1005.6 mb which is lower than recent days. The surface station map from Unisys shows that we are in near the center of a low pressure system. There is a cold front moving in from the west which is pushing the warm moist air upward and going to cause thunderstorms to occur. This can be seen in the Weather channel map also below.

I predict cooler temperatures with the approaching cold front and thunderstorms overnight and into the early morning.
