Dew Point: 32 F
Humidity: 45%
Pressure 29.93

This morning started off cold temperatures dipped below freezing last night for a little bit hitting 30F.  Hopefully that didn’t hurt the blooming plants too bad.  Right now there is a layer of cirrus stratus clouds overhead.  Rain looks to be in the forecast for tonight as the radar indicates there is a fairly well developed storm coming out of central Minnesota right now.  I should hit us in next few hours. The Storm system it on the leading edge of a low pressure system so the warmer air is sliding over the wedge of cold air, and creating precipitation. After the rain passes tomorrow the low pressure system should bring some warmer air to up for the next few days.

The morning started out cloudy and cold.  Stratus clouds hid the sun and the temperatures we're in the 40's for most of the morning. Around noon the clouds broke and the wind picked up.  This morning we had winds of 5-10 mph its now 15-20 mph.  The south western winds pushed warm air up into the region pushing out yesterdays cold rapidly.  There was a chance for thunderstorms this morning with the strong south wind, but that has passed as the clouds have left.  Tomorrow will be cooler as the wind direction will shift to the the north east. the surface data shows the wind swirling at the edges of the two fronts.

The weather was beautiful again today skies were clear and wind has shifted to the NE due to a small high pressure system thats in northern Minnesota thats causing the air to rotate away from it. Look to see the the wind continue to shift throughout the day tomorrow. The warm weather will continue it to the forceable future as long as we stay in the current jet stream pattern.  were getting warm southern air pushed up as the cold air continues to stay to our north.

Round Two?

It certainly looks like we have some more rain coming out of the south west some dark stormy looking nimbostratus clouds just developed.  the radar is also showing some weaker scattered showers starting to form down wind of us.  

Weekend Update/Mondays Weather

The weather this week end was exceptionally nice.  a south wind blew all weekend and broght perfect weather on saturday and sunday.  Saturdays highs were in the mid 60's and the skies were mostly clear.  sirius clouds combined with the south wind provide us with a warning that the weather wouldn't last.  Sunday was even warmer and has calmer winds.  But around noon the alto Strauss clouds rolled in, and by sun set ominous looking stratus clouds were here.  The rain come at about 1 am I think and lasted till 9:35 this morning, just minutes before I had to walk to campus.

Current Conditions:

Temperature: 51°F
Wind: 11mph ssw gusts ssw 22 mph
Dew Point: 44°F
Humidity: 77%
Pressure: 29.65"

The form systems are benign to move out of the area as the wind has started to shift to the west.  The satellite images show a well developed mid latitude cyclone is responsible for the rain.  its being pushed ton the north east by low pressure from the south west.  the sky keeps changing every time i look outside, currently it looks like war have cumulous stratus.  with some lower level clouds being caused by evaporation.  however the low press looks like it will bering clear skies and things should start to clear up by the afternoon.  this front is benign us more warm air and things should be very nice thought out the week.

I high pressure front just moved thought the area resulting in high winds.  as this rapid pressure change takes place the leading edge of the front will produce stung winds for the next several hours. This morning started out clear with mild winds out of the west cirrus cloud began to move in and by noon we were seeing alto stratus clouds as the wind continued to come out of the west.  temperatures were cold today due to the change in wind direction and the high pressure front coming in from the rookies.  the high pressure looks like it will stick around fro tomorrow but move out by Saturday

Wednesday's Weather

Today’s Conditions

Temperature: 48F

The temperature is extremely high the wind is still pretty strong out of the south and the clouds keep building. We now have what looks like cumulostratus clouds overhead.  The radar shows rain showed beginning to develop to the north of us I think that will continue and the air masses continue to mix and within a few hours well see some rain. The air is humid and the dew point is fairly high as this low pressure continues to push out the cold front conditions are right for spring showers.

Todays was a beautiful day.  It started out crystal clear and cold, the temps were in the low 20's early this morning. However things warmed up fast as the warm front moved in,  we observed the south east wind bringing in this warm front, cirrus clouds were over head by 8:30 and remained there as the wind died down a little. By 4pm the cirrostratus cloud associated with the warm front were visible on the horizon. the warm front is bringing low pressure that looks like it will produce precipitation by morning.  the thinking layer of clouds will trap some of the days heat in and keep temps probably above freezing all night.

The warm weather did in fact bring the fish to the surface for a little bit making for a beautiful after noon of weather watching and dry fly fishing.  I managed to trick 2 nice browns into taking by hand tied dry fly.

 

Monday's Weather

Today’s Conditions

Temperature: 28F
Wind: 7 mph SSW Gusts 7 mph
Dew Point:  17F
Humidity 63%
Pressure: 30.18"

There's currently a layer of alto stratus clouds overhead, the winds out of the south and is bringing warmer air up our way. We’re currently seeing a low pressure system slowly move in from the west.  This system also contains warm air and should cause the temps to rise nicely tomorrow. For the rest of the day, look for temps to rise quickly into the mid 30's and the clouds to hang around for the rest of the day. 

Even though the weathers pretty boring today its excellent for fishing.  The above freezing temperatures will bring out the midges and cause trout activity to increase. They were pretty slow moving this weekend due to the cold snap, and are probably hungry and feeding on the surface.  The water levels have been really good, but the warmer weather will cause the snow to melt and look for the rivers to start to rise a little today.  It will be interesting to see how much snow melts tomorrow; if the temps are in the 50's it could result in high water during mid-week.   

saturday/sundays weahter

Saturday

Highs in the upper 20's winds at 15 to 20 mph stratus cloud and intermittent snow best characterize yesterdays weather.  The intense low pressure system that rolled in and bought all the nasty weather was starting to move out, but was still producing some light snow.

yesterday was the early season trout opener the weather was not pleasant for fishing I couldn't feel my fingers or toes for the better part of the day.  This cold front was more like December weather than the beginning of March.  the snow was beautiful to watch on the trout stream but the cold is not appreciated.  thankfully the cold front has started to pass and spring like weather is in the forecast.

Sundays Conditions

Current temp:  17°F
Todays high: 25°F

Today started much like yesterday. Intermittent light snow fell again today around noon, but by about about 4 the stratus clouds broke and cumulus clouds moved in.  The wind died downed and the high pressure system moved in bringing clear skies.  As this front moves in it will bring nice warm weather this week.

Low pressure persists thought out the mid west today bringing stratus clouds to us, but intense storms else where. Souther Wisconsin is getting hit with heavy snow fall and rain right now creating dangerous driving conditions and low visibility.  They are experiencing a storm very similar to what we got this week.  They may even get more precipitation.  The surface data is showing similar pattern to what we saw this week.  moist air is being pulled up from the gulf and is swirling around over wisconsin and continues to feed the large low pressure system thats siting over the mid west.  This is whats continuing to generate there large powerful storms. Tornadoes are being reported as currently on the ground in Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio.  Sever thunderstorms are being produced by this system and are stretching from Louisiana to Illinois.

This weather channel video is talking about the tornado forecast for this afternoon there is a very good change for a serious tornado outbreak today.
