Today was a rather gloomy day. Cloudy conditions dominated the sky for the duration of the day, with temperatures that approached 30 degrees F. The jetstream map shows we are in an area that is a bit odd. The jetstream is forming a sort of ridge in our are, but with a spiraling pattern to the south near Milwaukee. Cloudy conditions will mostly likely stick with us throughout the day tomorrow with temperatures again near 30 F.

The weather conditions for today were mostly cloudy with the temperatures in the 30's. At around 2 p.m. I left work to find flurries coming down. The precipitation was short lived with no accumulation to speak of. There is not any real significant weather taking place around the country currently, just the remnants of the storm that ran south of us the last couple of days. Tomorrow's weather should be about the same as today, with a high near 30 and a chance of flurries.

Today's weather was darn near a carbon copy of yesterday's conditions. Mostly cloudy with a little bit of sunshine here and there with temperatures in the middle 30's. Tomorrow looks like it will probably follow suit  with cloudy conditions and temperatures in the mid 30's.



The jetstream looks a little bit odd compared to the usual. We have the jetstream coming from the northeast and circling up and around to end up flowing back to the east. The circle in northern Indiana is associated with the storm that has been moving trough the plains and is now over the northeast portion of the country form Chicago to the Atlantic Ocean shown in the map below.

Today's weather was similar to the weather we experienced throughout the weekend, mostly clouds with some sun and temperatures in the mid 30's. We did get a bit more sunshine over the weekend than we had today though. An area of high pressure, shown in the map below, will be in our area for the rest of the night and into tomorrow making for little to no chance of precipitation. There may however be some clouds due to winds from the north. Temperatures should be around what they were today with the high being in the upper 30's.

I awoke this morning around 10 a.m. to light snow and about 6-7 inches of accumulation that fell overnight. All and all Winter Storm Q was not quite what they expected it to be in terms of intensity, but we did get a decent amount of snow. The image below shows the remains of Q over Michigan and Lake Superior. The occluded front shows that the storm is all but over. There is a chance of snow tomorrow with cloudy conditions likely throughout the day. Highs should be about the same as today, in the mid to upper 30's.

Today's weather was nothing too exciting. Sun peaking through in the morning gave way to clouds in the afternoon, with highs reaching the middle 20's. The real weather story is the incoming Winter Storm Q that has been talked about over the last few days. This storm is headed toward us from the south and should hit us sometime in the early a.m. hours. There is a chance of snow from then until late morning Saturday. Estimates for snow accumulation is anywhere from 3-8 inches.

This morning started out just like yesterday ended, very cold. Temperatures warmed up by mid day though, almost reaching 20 degrees F. Conditions were mostly sunny throughout the day with a cloud here and there.  Tonight could dip down into the negatives yet again, which is not a good thing for my heating bill. Tomorrow should be a bit cloudier than today and warm up a little with highs in the mid 20's. By tomorrow night we could be experiencing the effects of Winter Storm Q that has been traveling through the western half of the country over the week. Most of the expected snow will probably arrive on Friday.

Winter storm Q is currently over the central part of the country, bringing snow to the Rockies and the Great Plains. A warm front coming from the Gulf of Mexico will likely provide the storm with more power as it heads our way.



The jetstream shows a trough coming down trough Colorado and into New Mexico. The jetstream looks like it will be bringing Winter Storm Q directly to us from Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska. The only question is how intense the storm will be when it reaches us. I will keep the blog updated in the days to come.
