Blue Skies are on the Horizon! (credit: UCAR)

DISCUSSION: Below is a national visible satellite image of the United States. This image helps meteorologists determine where a variety of cloud systems are and where they are moving. Currently, there is a cold front draped from New York, southward along the spine of the Appalachian Mtns., and into deep south Texas. Behind this cold front, aside from a few fair weather cumulus clouds and sprinkles around the Great Lakes, the weather is picture perfect with fall-like conditions. Temperatures are generally in the 70s F and 80s F with lower humidity readings and breezy northwest winds. This nice weather is headed toward the East Coast by the start of the work week tomorrow! Enjoy it while it lasts! To learn more about other weather events from across North America, be sure to click here!
