It continues to be a major warmup in the midwest as we are currently experiencing an omega high. An omega high is where the high pressure over the midwest brings warm air from the south. The high pressure air covers such a large area that the west to east air flow has troubles going around the area. The area that is in the omega high experience dry warm weather while the low pressure areas to the east and west experience wet and cloudy weather. We are currently in an omega high in the midwest and this caused the warmup we are experiencing. Today has been mostly cloudy but the temperatures have reached the low 50's. The clouds have been hazy all day and we have had a brisk southern wind.
This is the radar of the current radar for the midwest. You can see that a high pressure system stretches from Montana all the way east into Ohio. This is the omega high that I talked about. To the south you can see a warm from moving north through Missouri currently and it is surrounded on either side by stationary fronts. In Canada there is a cold front that is being pushed south but with the winds, that will be pushed to the east.
This is a map of the surface direction of the winds. You can see that warm air is being brought up from Oklahoma and into Canada. There is also a western wind pushing the high pressure systems from Montana. This omega high will last all week.
