Today's weather has been very erratic. We have had sunshine, hail, snow, and rain at different intervals. The polar jet stream is currently swooping over our area and bringing cool moist air down from Canada and picking up more moisture as it travels farther northeast. This morning started as cold and gray, but by mid-morning around 10 am we had large flakes of snow that didn't stick. Throughout the afternoon we have had other instances of flurries that did not stick and around 4:30 we had some small hail and rain/snow mix that lasted only a few minutes. The winds are picking up as the evening passes but the chance for snow will decrease as the night wears on. Tomorrow it will be a little bit warmer than today but with a much reduced chance of precipitation.
