Maps

Current GOES-East Eastern US water vapor image
Here's a map showing water vapor, As you can see there is a lot more in the South where the storms have been, it is also too cold here for there to be that much water vapor in WI.

This map is from http://www.intellicast.com/National/Wind/JetStream.aspx. Shows those crazy fast jet streams where the storms are.


From the same site you can see the difference in Jet Streams compared to Wind.

Not to much snow around here as you can see below. This map is from http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sfc_map.php?inv=0&t=cur&region=mw.

Monday Threat

Monday 2/11/13

Yeterday was nuts.  It was raining when I woke up and had to scrape ice off my car.  Later it snowed .5" and a few hours after that it was raining again.  The roads were really slushy and it left some difficult walking conditions to school this morning.  The sidewalks are all hard slush and ice, thank God for snow boots.

Right now we have a WNW wind at 16mph.  Humidity is at 63% and dew point is 18 degrees.  It's cloudy and 27 degrees but it did get up to 36 degrees around lunch time today. We should have a little more sun tomorrow with temperatures around 30.  No snow in our near future.

We still have quite a bit of severe weather going on around the US.

US: Severe Weather Alerts

Lots of rain and flooding in the South and is continuing to move on to the East.

The Blizzard Nemo had caused people to abandon their cars, It caused massive power outages, and a huge amount of damage has been done.  From the Huffington Post: "Blowing with hurricane-force winds of more than 80 mph in places, the storm hit hard along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor between New York City and Maine. Milford., Conn., got 38 inches of snow, and Portland, Maine, recorded 31.9, shattering a 1979 record. Several communities in New York and across New England got more than 2 feet."

Too much homework to make it outside for too long yesterday.  Walking to class around 1 was pretty snowy.  We got .07" snowfall yesterday.  Our high was 26 degrees and had an easterly wind at 10mph. SSDD (same stuff different day) pretty much sums up the entire week.


TODAY:

right now we have wind at 11mph NNE, it's 29 degrees, and humidity is 70%.

US: Severe Weather Alerts

Snow tonight, as you can see there is a winter weather alert around WI.

Cloudy snowy day today but tomorrow it'll be sunny with no snow!  But still around the same temp.

Monday 2/4/2013

We had a chilly but sunny weekend with no snow. I'm sure no one spent too much time outside anyway because of the Superbowl last night.

Today we had a high of 13 degrees, there isn't too much wind so I'm pretty happy.  Snow is predicted for tonight around 11pm.  That's just about as interesting as today's weather gets.
