3/29/12

...rain :)

I was suddenly awakened by the sound of raindrops hitting the ground outside my second-story window when I quickly realized, I hadn't even blogged yet!

Current Conditions:

Temperature: 44 F
Humidity: 57%
Pressure: 29.91
Winds: 12mph SE
Skies: nimbo stratus


The map above indicated that northeast Wisconsin is being affected by the low pressure system coming from the southeast.  Warm air is sliding over the cold air creating precipitation.  The mackeral skies this morning (cirrocumulus clouds containing ice crystals) also were a great sign that precipitation was in the future!  Currently, the jetstream is bringing in the polar continental airmass which can be associated with the lower temperatures that occurred throughout most of today and this evening.
