Temperature: 11 F
Feels like: 1 F
Wind: NW 6 mph
Humidity: 47%
Pressure: 30.16 in

This morning started off as a hazy day. The clouds were low and no sunlight was peaking through at all. The wind also was blowing from the northwest, so the windchill played a factor throughout the day.  The clouds remained most of the day until the early evening hours. As the wind continued to blow, the clouds were eventually blown out form the northwest wind. Giving way to sun, we still had high level clouds in the atmosphere.

This radar picture shows the cloud cover, now in northern Illinois, that was covering most of Wisconsin earlier in the day. You can see the isobars showing that the wind isn't blowing to hard from the northwest, but enough to move that cloud system to the south. Right now you can see two large cold fronts with a small warm front moving northward up through Iowa. That warm front is following a low pressure system at this time. 

Like I mentioned yesterday in my blog, we saw a wind chill alert only for northern Minnesota. With the wind continuing out of the northwest, and the low temperatures, we have seen that wind chill alert com down into the northern half of Wisconsin. With the temperatures dropping tonight, that wind chill will have an effect on anyone who is outside. Although the winds may not be being very hard, that cold air will cool much of the northern half of Wisconsin.
