The final blog! Well its been pretty miserable weather all week. Mainly due to the cloud cover and the moisture that has come with it from the west. The current conditions are:

Temperature - 12 °C
Dew Point - 7 °C (which is why we've had isolated showers around)
Barometric pressure - 1012.2 mb (which has been fluctuating between 1005-1016mb today)
Wind- North around 13 MPH
Cloud Type - Altostratus 100%

As you can see it is likely that the cloud cover will stick around with the current low pressure systems hanging around Wi. Similar conditions should continue for the rest of today and tomorrow, but we should see some sunshine and higher temperatures by Sunday when the high pressure system moves across from the west.

THANKS FOR FOLLOWING MY BLOG!

The current conditions are:
Temperature - 17 °C
Barometric Pressure - 1004.4mb ( dropped about 4mb since yesturday)
Wind - East around 10 MPH
Dew Point - 10 °C
Clouds - Overcast/stratus

Looking at the surface map we should expect rain within the next 24hrs. Most likely late afternoon today, thunderstorms are also likely. We should have a high temperature of  about 24 °C today.

As forecasted lastnight it did start raining/storming somewhere in the relms on 2-4am this morning and has continued until now. Most recently the barometric pressue has taken a abrupt decrease since 8am, it is now down to around the 1005mb mark and still decreasing.

The current temperature is a mild 11 °C, with dew point at 10 °C. The thunderstorms around are expected to stick around for the rest of the day and may produce high wind speeds. Currently our winds are southest gusts between 23-30 MPH, which don't look to be backing off.

As we can see in the surface there is alot of moisture in the clouds to stimulate the precipitation we are currently seeing. It also looks like a Colorado Low might be forming if the low pressure systems persist to shift North-east towards Wi. Thunderstorms should continue for the rest of today, we should expect to see similar patterns over the week with thunderstorms/rain around the state.

Today we had temperature around the 22°C mark. Stratus clouds filled the sky at 100%, wind was east at around 8-10 MPH. Chances of rain draw very likely sometime in the early morning when temperature decrease. Barometric pressure is currently at 1011.9mb currently and steadily decreasing. Tomorrow we should have similar cloud life, most probably some sort of stratus cloud which should produce isolated showers.

The current temperature is 19 °C which is about 2 degrees higher then yesturday. Cumulus clouds are out today at about 60%. Pressure has dropped to 1008.6mb which is a decrease since wednesday when it was about 1026mb.Winds are moving NW at about 12MPH with some stronger winds every now and then. Cloud life is building up since this morning, i'm predicting some time tonight we should get a shower or two as the cumulus clouds look to be increasing. Temperatures should stay the same over the weekend, with possible rain on both saturday and sunday.

As forecasted the weather is similar to yesturday. Temperatures have increased but also cloud cover is starting to increase. This morning cirrus clouds moved in, now we have about 40% cirrustratus. The current temperature is 17 °C and will probably peak at 18 degrees. Barometric pressure is sitting at 1027mb. Wind is moving S at speeds between 15-27 MPH. The surface mpa shows a low pressure system heading towards Wi, and an occluded front also heading this way. This may bring some precipitation our way, maybe later on tonight or tomorrow.

Today the temperature feels quite brisk even though its about 8 °C which is warmer then the last few days. The wind is blowing in variable directions between 7-16MPH. Barometric pressure is at 1025.5mb which is quite high which could explain why we are seeing cirrus clouds which are deminishing, which may be because the pressure is still rising. We should see very cold temperatures tonight because of this. As we can see we have a high pressure system over Wi at the moment which is influencing the pressure trend. We should see similar temperatures tomorrow, maybe abit higher if the pressure drops and more clouds are around.
