Gloomy Friday

Well by the looks of it, we will have a gloomy Easter weekend. Nothing to be excited about. A lot of clouds (stratus currently) and not a lot of warmth. It currently feels like 30 and if we are lucky then that will get up to around 46 today with a high of 55 for the weekend. We currently have north northwest winds around 2-4 mph. Not a lot going on round these parts but in the southern U.S. We can see a pretty good storm system along the front of cold air as shown by the map below. 
Today is also a perfect time to show two continental weather systems that we can find often. In the picture below we can two swirling occluded fronts in the upper right and upper left. These are called the Newfoundland Low and the Aleutians Low respectively. Due to ocean currents from the Suns energy we tend to see these pressure systems in relatively the same location throughout the year with little variance in between seasons.
