April 1

The storm siren went off today, but I think it was a joke.

Today was nice, no precipitation... it was chilly though.

Temperature: 25 F
Dewpoint: 15 F
Humidity: 66%
Pressure: 1023.4 mb
Wind: 5 mph WNW

Looks like the high pressure systems are still in our area. The southwest region of the states has a lot of moisture and low pressure systems, which may sweep over to the east coast. I'm not sure how that will affect us in Wisconsin, I think that the high pressure will remain for the next day or so.

 

March 31st

Today was odd, we had overcast skies this morning with light precipitation, which turned into a light snow in the afternoon. The snow only lasted an hour or two max and then by late afternoon it was nice and sunny again.

Stats as of 10:30pm ( I have a screenshot from earlier on my phone)
Temperature: 28 F
Dewpoint:12 F
Humidity: 49%
Pressure: 1015.2mb
Wind: 11mph WNW

The surface map is active today, we are still being affected by that low pressure system to the northeast, but it looks like it will be pulling that high pressure system to the northwest.

March 30 - Spring showers came just in time!

I don't think I've ever been so happy to see rain in my whole life! Yesterday was nice and clear again, today it rained, like I thought it would.

In a bit I will post some cool pictures from yesterday. We went to Marshfield for an early easter, and there was a nice "god sky" (sun shines though the clouds). You could definitely see that there was unstability in the atmosphere as the night approached, many layers of different clouds.

Today was overcast, raining pretty hard this morning then slowing down to a drizzle.

Temperature: 41°F
Dewpoint: 40°F
Humidity: 100%
Wind:  4mph W
Pressure: 1010.9 mb

 As you can see by the surface map today we have some precipitation approaching due to the low pressure system moving in from the north. That system will bring in cooler temperatures and possibly snow if the moisture remains in air.

Skew-T plot from Minneapolis, MN. Shows how its raining there.

Today was very nice, it started out a little chilly with temperatures around 23°F this morning (7am) but became much warmer with temperatures around 46°F in the afternoon (3pm). The cloud coverage was sparse, we had a lot of open skies, with a few cirrus clouds.

Temperature: 41°F
Dewpoint: 14°F
Humidity: 33%
Wind: Calm
Pressure: 1026.4 mb

 On the surface map you can again see the high pressure system that we have in our area. There is a lot of low pressure activity going on in the mid states, we can expect the low pressure system near texas to make is way up to us via the jetstream. My prediction is that the low pressure system there will bring us precipitation by saturday, hopefully only rain though!

 Here you can see the weather.unisys.com surface map data, our area has calm winds and clear skies.

This map shows the water vapor building off the west coast, from a maritime tropical air mass, this may bring us more precipitation if it makes it past the rockies.

Today was really great! loved it. we have some clouds present, mainly alto cirrus and alto stratus clouds associated with the high pressure system.

Temperature: 40°F
Dewpoint:14°F
Wind: WNW 4mph
Humidity: 34%
Pressure: 1027.1 mb

 As you can see by the surface map we have a high pressure system in the area, contributing to our good weather.

 There is some moisture in the south west of the country along with a low pressure system that may make its way over to us by the weekend bringing precipitation.

March 26

Temperature: 38°F
Dewpoint: 18°F
Wind: Calm
Humidity: 44%
Pressure 1024.6 mb

Today is not bad, had some awesome cloud formations midday. At this time there is an overcast sky. The flag across the street is pretty dead.

 Looks like we have more nice weather on the way. Multiple high pressure systems moving in our direction over the next few days.

 Taken around 11:30am this picture shows some cool clouds we had this morning. Altocumulus and either cumulus humilis or cumulus congestus clouds.

March 25

Today was nice, clear skies mostly and it felt warm. yesterday was overcast, most likely due to the low pressure system that moved through more to the south, thankfully we were not hit by that.

Temperature: 27 F
Dewpoint: 21 F
Humidity 82%
Pressure: 1022.4 mb
Wind: 0mph

 Not much activity in Wisconsin lately. looks like we will have more high pressure in the next day or so. the possibility of bad weather may arise later in the week.

Picture taken around 8pm, looks like we have cumulo stratus clouds moving through.
