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.
