Wind Chill: 36º F
Wind: 21 mph E
Dew Point: 30º F
Precipitation: None
Pressure: 1012.9 mb

Today was a bit of a bummer as far as the weather is concerned. It has been very windy and relatively cool all day long. The sun came out a few times throughout the day, but it was mostly cloudy for a majority of the day. There was slight snow fall last night and projected snow again tomorrow.
Image 1: The accuweather image above shows the projected snowfall from tonight into tomorrow. We will be in the region of 1-3 inches of snow.
Image 2: There is a massive low pressure system over the Midwest that is blowing winds out of the east. There is a decent chance of snow tonight according to the radar data. The image also shows isobar lines, pressure systems, and fronts.
Image 3: The image above shows the sounding for Minneapolis, Minnesota. The dew point and temperature are very close around the 700 mb. There doesn't appear to be any precipitation currently.
Image 4: The image above shows wind direction, wind speed, and cloud cover. The winds are relatively strong and coming out of the east for now. The skies are also overcast.
I predict that there will be light snow or rain tonight, but I can't really say when. Tomorrow will be clearer as the low pressure system moves through the region. If the high pressure moves into our region by tomorrow then there should be clear skies, but it will be about the same temperature. Expect cool temperatures so wear a jacket tomorrow.
