Today I am in Washington, DC for the Experimental Biology Conference. It was very nice today; sunny all day with about 10% cloud coverage. Currently in Washington, DC it is 72 degrees F with the dew point at 52 degrees. There is mild wind here, approximately 5 mph coming from the WSW which I would think would be coming from the Continental Tropical Air Mass. Over the past few hours of the night the clouds have increased to about 75% of nimbostratus clouds. I expect there to be rain within the next few hours and that tomorrow be cloudy as well.

Currently is it 49 degrees F on campus with the dew point at 29. There are also very mild winds on campus coming from the NW. The sky is clear with no clouds. Earlier today there were a few clouds, about 15% coverage of cumulohumilis clouds. The highest temperature during the day was about 60 degrees. It was very nice spring weather! For tomorrow, I predict that it will be warmer out but not as warm is today, possibly with more clouds.

In Eau Claire, WI, it is currently 36 degrees F with moderate winds making it a little chilly outside. The wind is about 9 mph coming from the WNW and the dew point is at 19 degrees F. There was no precipitation today other than a few sprinkles during the early morning. The sky is relatively clear, only about 10% cloud coverage. Since the wind is coming from the NW, I do not predict any precipitation within the next 24 hours. Tomorrow we should see more of the same, partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the high 40s.

Today was a bit chilly! Right now it is currently 22 degrees F with the wind chill also at 22 degrees. The dew point is at 7 degrees. The wind is coming from the NNE at about 3 miles per hour. The sky is clear which may be the reason why it is chillier than usual. There are no blanket clouds to keep us warm! Because there are no clouds I do not expect that there will be any precipitation soon. If there were clouds, I would predict there would be because the winds are coming from the NNE. I think tomorrow will be about the same temp, in the 30s with sunny skies.

Snow?

It started snowing last night in Appleton, WI. First we recieved graupel and then came the snow! In the past 24 hours we have recieved 6.4 inches and in the remainder of the day we are to recieve about 2-4 more inches of snow. It is currently 27 degrees F with 16 mph wind coming from the NE (which is why I am assuming we are having a snow storm). Cloud coverage is 100% with cumulostratus clouds. Until tomorrow morning I expect more snow accumulation and then I predict the clouds with thin out making way for partly sunny skies tomorrow with temperatures warming up.

Today was foggy for the majority of the day, which made travel difficult. It is currently 43 degrees F here in Eau Claire with the wind chill at 37F. We also recieved some light drizzle throughout the day. The fog was evaporation fog because it occured over large areas of snow. There is about 40% cloud coverage with altostratus clouds. The barometric pressure is at 29.85 and rising rapidly. Because the barometric pressure is rising rapidly I predict that we will not recieve anymore precipitation in the next 24 hours and it will cool down to the 30s. We can also expect some clearer skies tonight and tomorrow.

Today was beautiful outside! It was mostly sunny all day, but it started off chillier this morning but was at 32 degrees F at 930 AM. There was also radiation fog this morning across the middle of Wisconsin as I was driving to Eau Claire. Right now it is currently 37 degrees F with the dew point at 25 degrees F. It is mostly sunny with about 30% cloud coverage of stratus clouds. There are mild winds coming from the South at 5 mph. Because of the wind direction and cloud coverage, I predict that tomorrow we will see higher temps in the 40s with party sunny skies.
