Today started off as another warm day in the Chippewa Valley area. Although it may have been nine outside, it was however mostly cloudy most of the day. There were brief stints when the clouds cleared and we were able to catch some rays, but it has been mostly cloudy all day. The wind today also played a factor as we experienced gusts close to 30 mph coming form the south. Although it was a southern wind, the gusts were so strong that it didn't feel very warm. We are still sitting in the omega high but with temperatures dropping some this weekend, we will see the end of it. That doesn't mean were going to drop back into the 20's but we will see temperatures more in the average for this time of year.
You can see that Wisconsin is in a warm front right now with a stationary front building over the Dakota's. You can also see a trough coming up from the great plains. All these fronts are in a low pressure system, but expect that to turn into a high pressure system as we see precipitation at the start of next week.
This is the surface data for the midwest currently. Although it has been mostly cloudy today in the area, it says that there are no clouds right now. This is a good reading showing that the wind direction is coming mostly from the south/ southwest. You can see where the trough is located on this map as well because over the Dakota's the wind is coming from the northwest. When these two different wind directions collide it causes for that trough to form.
