Icky, icky, cold

Today was cold just like the forcast anticipated. The coldest temperature I observed today was 11F at 3:56pm. Winds were coming from the WNW at 15 mph. The dew point was -4F, and relative humidity was 51%.

Current conditions are clear, sunny skies sunny with a temperature of 10F. However, wind is coming from the northwest at 12 mph, making it feel like -5F outside, bbbuuuuurrrrrrrr! The dew point is at -5F, with 51% humidity.

I know the surface map above shows no cloud cover, but I thought I would provide this water vapor satellite image so we can see how close we are from missing any precipiation right now. The surface map above shows a cold front in the eastern part of the states. This means we have the cold, dry polar continental air over us now. The occuluded and stationary fronts above Michigan show the front dying down and not moving too much.

Tonight we can expect mainly clear skies, but it's going to be cold out there. Wind chills are expected to reach -25F, with winds coming from the northwest. The overall low is forecasted to be -8F.
