Today was the first day that it finally felt like spring was in reach. The temperatures reached into the mid 30's by early afternoon and the sun was out most of the day. The morning had some low lingering clouds but those cleared out once the sun was able to burn them up. The wind today was out of the west and south which brought warm weather from the gulf.

The above radar shows the current surface map. You can currently see that there is a warm front over North Dakota with a cold front to the north. This warm front will continue to move west and have a positive warm effect on the Chippewa Valley area. 

This satellite image continues to show water vapor that is being carried to the east coast from the Gulf of Mexico. This will continue to fuel the storms that the east coast has been experiencing. You can also see cloud cover over the Dakota's and Montana. These clouds will move into our area but the warm weather will stay from the warm front in the first radar picture. The temperatures will continue to stay into the 30's especially when the winds are being brought up from the south.
