May 12 & 13

May 13:  Today is cloudy again with altostratus clouds.  It is also chillier today at 54 degrees with winds coming from the N at 10mph!  I will not be doing a prediction today as it is my last blog entry for the semester!  I wish everyone the best!  :)

May 12:  Sorry I am updating so late!  I tried to update last night, but the site was down!  Any way, my prediction was right.  Yesterday was warm at 74 degrees, but it was cloudy and there were some spotty rain showers.

May 11

My prediction from yesterday was partially right!  We did have a thunderstorm earlier this morning around 10am.  Right now though it is bright and sunny out with some cirrostratus clouds blanketing the sky.  It is also 75 degrees out with no wind as the center of the low pressure is right over us.  I was happily prepared for the warm temperature today, unlike yesterday, and have on shorts!  However, this nicer weather will lapse into storms again as they sweep in from the southwest later on today.

On a side note, you probably noticed a new tab at the top of my blog titled, "Data Analysis."  This tab will soon contain weather data, graphs, and companion analyses from the course of the semester.  So if you want to see the weather trends, the tab will be chock full sometime tonight!

May 10

My prediction from yesterday was so wrong!  It was GORGEOUS out today!!  It was clear skies with some cirrus clouds for the majority of today.  There was a light wind from the SE at 5mph and it also go up to 79 degrees!  79!!! I was completely unprepared for such warmth and should have worn shorts!  I know everyone would love to see this weather continue, but it looks as if tomorrow might have rain and storms coming in from the NW... hopefully I will be wrong like I was for today!!

 

May 9

My prediction from yesterday was right!  Today started off rainy and stormy!  There was thunder, lightning, and pouring rain for several hours this morning.  Around 12/1pm it began to clear out though and the day brightened.  It also got up up to about 58 degrees when the storm left.  The winds also changed to coming out of the NE.  I think tomorrow will be rainy again and possibly even stormy as more precipitation from the west comes our way.

 

May 8

My prediction from yesterday was not quite right.  The weather was not as beautiful as yesterday.  It was actually cloudy all day with stratus clouds and winds out of the SE that picked up intensity at 13mph.  However, it was still warm today at about 69 degrees.  I think tomorrow will be rainy as that low pressure swings through!

 

May 7

My prediction from yesterday was delightfully wrong!  No rain!  It was a gorgeous day today!  Clear skies with a few cumulus clouds, 70 degrees, and just a light wind from the E.  I think tomorrow will be just as lovely as today!

 

May 6

My prediction from yesterday was right!  It was a beautiful sunny day today with some cumulus clouds passing by.  It got up to about 66 degrees with a 5mph wind from the NW.  I think tomorrow will be cloudy and possibly wet as low pressure from the west moves in.

 

May 4 & 5

May 5:  Today is cloudy/overcast with cumulus and stratocumulus clouds, and there has been some random precipitation.  It is 56 degrees right now with a 13mph S wind.  I think tomorrow will be warmer and we'll see the return of sunny skies as high pressure settles in after this low pressure and cold front goes through.

May 4:  My predication from the day before was right!  It was lovely weather, clear skies with just a few cirrus clouds, 63 degrees, and a light wind.

May 3

My prediction from yesterday was right!  Today started out with some altocumulus clouds and then changed over to fair weather cumulus clouds with lots of sunshine!  It got up to about 56 degrees today and there was just a light N wind.  This nice weather was due to a high pressure system over us and it will last into tomorrow as well!

 

May 2

My prediction from yesterday was right.  Today was still cloudy and chilly at 39 degrees with a light NW wind.  There were even some random snowflakes to be seen!  Talk about nuts!  Thank goodness tomorrow looks like it will be sunny, clear, and much warmer due the high pressure over us.

May 1

Happy May to everyone!  My time has flown by, has it not?  Any way, today doesn't seem much like May as my hopeful prediction from yesterday was wrong.  It is unfortunately cloudy with altostratus clouds, it is 39 degrees out but feels like 29 degrees with a strong 21mph WSW wind (gusting up to 35mph).  I think tomorrow will be cloudy still as the stationary front to our west moves through.

April 30

My prediction from yesterday was right.  The low pressure system to our west came swinging over and has brought stratus and nimbostratus clouds and some more lovely rain...  It is currently 48 degrees (got up to 56 degrees) out with a 16mph W wind.  I think tomorrow the sky will be clear, sunny, and warmer as the low pressure system moves out and high pressure settles in.

April 29

My prediction from yesterday was right!  It was a clear sunny day today with the temperature getting up to 65 degrees today with a wind increasing in strength from the SE at 15mph.  The clouds have also been increasing and are now a nice blanket of cirrostratus clouds.  I think tomorrow will be unfortunately rainy as that low pressure to our west comes through and brings clouds and precipitation.

 

April 28

My prediction from yesterday was pretty much right.  Today was still overcast with stratus clouds (with minor precipitation) and 52 degrees with a NW wind at 10mph.  The rain was lighter if falling at all and now it seems as though all the clouds will clear out at last as the high pressure finally settles in!

 

April 27

My prediction from yesterday was right!  Today was only 43 degrees, overcast stratus clouds with random light on and off rain throughout the day, and had a 10mph NW wind.  I think tomorrow will clear out the scraggling rain behind the moving away low pressure system and then all will be clear, sunny, and warmer as the high pressure settles in!

 

April 26

My prediction from yesterday was right!  It was 55 degrees, overcast stratus clouds producing rain all day with E/SE winds around 10mph.  I think tomorrow will be cooler as that low pressure to the NE of us will bring down colder air.  It will probably been rainy again as the low continues to give us precipitation.

 

April 25

My prediction from yesterday was right!  It got up to about 62 degrees today with 12mph E winds and increasing altostratus overcast clouds.  I think tomorrow will be rainy as the precipitation from the south moves over us.

 

Aprl 24

My prediction from yesterday was right.  It was 62 degrees outside with some cumulus clouds and a light 5mph SW wind.  It was refreshingly nice out compared to the last few days!  I think tomorrow will be the same nice weather!  Yay!

 

April 22 & 23

April 23:  Today was overcast, stratus clouds, all day.  It did not rain however.  It was just 53 degrees with winds from the E.  I think tomorrow the skies will finally be clear, sunny, and warmer as a high pressure system settles in.  At last!

April 22:  My prediction from the day before was right!  It was cooler, 47 degrees, overcast and rainy.

April 21

My prediction from yesterday was partially right.  It was warmer at 50 degrees, but it was overcast all day with cirro/altostratus clouds.  There was a wind from the E and later the SE at about 10mph.  I think tomorrow will be cooler and wet as that Colorado Low from the west tracks our way!
