Overcast

The first thing I noticed this morning was the cloud cover.  Since I predicted scattered to broken clouds, I was surprised to see an overcast sky.  The temperature was still fairly warm, but it felt a little colder to me compared to yesterday due to the lack of sunlight.  The sky remained overcast throughout the day, and a light wind was prevalent as well.

Figure 1 shows that there is currently a stationary front in the area.  Based on information in the textbook, a stationary front occurs when the cold air mass is neither advancing or receding.  Cold air from the Arctic is flowing parallel to the front, and warm air from the Gulf is flowing parallel to the other side of the front.

Based on the stationary front, I'm predicting minimal changes in the weather for tomorrow.  Overcast or broken clouds will be present.  Temperature will be similar, but there is a chance it will get colder if the cold air mass advances any farther.  Precipitation will be unlikely.
