Temperature: 1 F
Feels like: -9 F
Wind: W 4 mph
Humidity: 44%
Pressure: 30.43 in

It is a bitterly cold day today in the Chippewa Valley Area. Although the wind might not be blowing extremely hard, it still is playing a factor with a wind chill pushing the temperatures into the negatives. This morning and afternoon so far has not accounted for any clouds in the sky, although it may be very sunny out, the temperatures remain in the single digits. We can expect that the temperatures to hopefully reach the low teens today, but with the wind chill it will remain in the single digits.


Compared to yesterday, the high pressure system is still moving west as it makes it way over Wisconsin. There two stationary fronts, one over the rocky mountains and another just to the north of Wisconsin. Also, there is a small storm cell building over the Dakota's and down to the southwest of Iowa. That should continue to move west and maybe be over western Wisconsin later in the day tomorrow. 


This is a radar picture of that small storm system that is over the Dakota's and just making its way into Iowa. With the west continuing from the west we can expect these two cells to push into Wisconsin in the next few days. However, by the time they get there they may have already dispersed and we won't see anything. Along with these storm cells moving there way west, this will bring warmer weather for the weekend.
