Wednesday, March 30th

Today is appearing to turn out as predicted. The current temperature is 33 degrees F with no wind and brilliantly sunny skies. The surface map shows a stationary front to the west of us, along with a large U-shaped cold front in the south. This matches up with the snow/rain mix in the Dakotas and Nebraska, and the precipitation/inclimate weather the southeastern states are experiencing. Our barometric pressure reading is falling slowly, so as the high pressure system moves to our southeast we will see an increase in clouds, as well as a change in wind direction. Tomorrow we will have SE winds, mostly cloudy skies, and reach the upper 40s.

The big weather news right now is the possibility of a big snow storm out east on Thursday night and Friday. They are concerned because the cold front in the south (from the continental polar airmass) will mix with a warm front along the east coast (from the maritime tropical airmass) and a large low pressure system will form. Because of this, strong winds and wet heavy snow are very possible.
