The weather has changed drastically from last week. Today was much colder than it was all last week and over the weekend. Some snow fell last night and dusted the Midwest. It appears that the Alberta clippers are making their way across our area again which means cold conditions and possibly more snow.

Image 1: This Accuweather image shows the cold arctic air that is moving its way across the United States. It is causing rain, snow and storms across the East coast.

Image 2: The image above shows pressure systems, fronts, isobar lines, and radar data. There is a low pressure system moving its way into the Midwest but the system to the north east is still affecting the cloud cover and precipitation in our area. there are storms moving their way into the east.

Image 3: The sounding above was taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There appears to be two regions on the image where there could be potential for precipitation to occur. They are at 500 mb and 850 mb. There is an odd inversion in the dew point as well.

Image 4: The UNISYS image above shows the wind speed, wind direction and cloud cover. Winds are coming out of the north west and the sky is overcast.

I predict that tomorrow will be cold again as more cool air makes its way into the U.S. Depending on the low pressure system to the wests movement there could be cloudy conditions again tomorrow. There shouldn't be any snow or rain tomorrow but it could potentially get worse as the week goes on. Keep an eye on the forecast and the blog!
