Southwest Wind

As I predicted, the weather today was very similar to yesterday.  It did warm up a little more than I thought it would.  The main reason for this increase in temperature was the change in wind direction.  As I walked to school, I took a different route in order to walk by the flag on top of Schofield.  At roughly 2 this afternoon, there was a moderate southwest wind.  This wind consisted of warmer air compared to the cold northwest wind from yesterday.

Cloud cover increased significantly since yesterday.  I estimate it was roughly 40-50% this afternoon.  The dominant cloud type was cumulostratus.

Yet again, I predict a minimal change in weather tomorrow due to the current high-pressure system dominating the central US.  It will still be cold due to the continental polar air mass, but the temperature will be moderated by a southwest wind.  Cloud cover will be similar as well.

similar to the surface map from yesterday in my previous post, which
coincides with the fact that there wasn't much of a change in the weather.
