What is your weather like ... today

[MitchM]

As the ice mass in the arctic decreases, the jet stream becomes more unstable so our weather patterns in the northern hemisphere will swing more.
Cold air is above the jet stream, warm air is below the jet stream.

Here's an animated forecast map for North America that shows our short-term cold/warm weather:

We had high winds yesterday and graupel falling from the sky - it's not hail, it's not sleet, it's... graupel! We went from mild and sunny to gusting winds and downright cold in about 30 seconds. At one point we looked out the window and it could have been a January blizzard. I guess winter is coming, ready or not!

According to your map @MitchM rain is heading our way soon!
Can you find another map that says only sunshine on the way?

38f right now w/plenty of fog. Says 62f w/sun on the way but now I don't trust them cuz yesterday they promised 60's and never made it.

Went out for a hike today, nice for the most part but it was windy, and it had a nasty chill to it.

 

[Tara]

Dipped into the 20s last night, will climb into the low 50s later. Weather forecast says it's a cold front from Canada.

 

[j.w]

37f and sunny this morning. Gonna be warmer today than the past few as no fog blocking out the sunshine!

 

[Tara]

Rained today, no surprise about that anymore as it seems to be the normal these days. Did het a bad thunder storm though.

 

[j.w]

We are expecting rain any second now!

 

[Tara]

Overcast for the day, high 40s mid afternoon if lucky. Have not seen much sun or dry weather this fall.

 

[addy1]

Sunny and 50's. The rain tomorrow and Saturday, then sun again.

32f right now

 

[Tara]

It's in the 30s right now, meant to climb into mid 40's. Some sun, hopefully no rain today. Lot of leaves down overnight from wind and rain.
