Observations for Thursday, May 5th, 2011

It's been a pretty mild day outside today, it seems.  I haven't really gotten a chance to go outside and check things out on account of the fact that I've been sick with strep throat, but it has seemed to be really nice out for most of the day.  Looking out my window, I could see that there were quite a few cumulus clouds in the sky during the morning hours, but it seemed to clear up here and there to reveal nice and sunny skies.  The temperature at 3 pm was 50 degrees, much cooler than yesterday's temperature, which was around 62 at the same time.  The barometric pressure has also dropped throughout the day, though it is now steadying off at around 1029 mb.  Overall, it's been a pretty cloudy day, and I would expect that to continue.  I would think that we might get some rain tonight and possibly tomorrow.
