So I've been gone for awhile. However, here is an update on my weather experiences. Last Wednesday was clear skies. then Thursday I presented the weather briefing for class. I worked on it in the morning when the skies were 100% covered with altostratus clouds. The wind was from the southeast. Temperatures were in the low 40s. However by the time I was to present the winds were from the northeast and the sky saw a mix of cumulus humulus, cumulus mediocris, and cirrostratus clouds covering about 50% of the sky. The weather indicated the approach of a mid-latitude cyclone. I predicted rain/snow overnight.
Friday morning I woke up to wet snow mix. I had to drive through snow and radiation fog as I drove to the cities. Around 10 am the fog disappeared completely. Later that day as I drove towards Fargo, ND I saw a beautiful cumulonimbus cloud to the northeast. you could see where it leveled off at the tropopause in the atmosphere. There were also winds coming from the north to northeast. Overall the weekend remained fair weather for me in Fargo, ND with clear skies.
This morning I saw a west wind blowing at around 15 mph. The sky was 85% covered with altostratus clouds. Then later today I noticed that the clouds had changed to cumulus humulus clouds. The temperature is 36 deg F with a windchill of 31 deg F. The dewpoint is 19 deg F creating a relative humidity of 50%. The barometer is at 1006 mb. The winds are now only at 5 mph and is coming from the northwest. I predict that there is a chance of rain tomorrow due to the change in the obvious changes in the weather.
