Today was an awesome day in the Chippewa Valley area as we saw temperatures reach into the low 60's and it was sunny all day. The morning started off in the 40's and saw that reach into the 60's by late afternoon. The wind came out of the west most of the day and was only blowing around 10 mph most of the day. We are still in the omega high and can expect that to last at least into the week and potentially early next week. With the winds continuing to come out of the west and south, the temperatures will remain warm.

This is the radar of the surface analysis of the U.S. You can see high pressure systems over the midwest with cold fronts and low pressure system north in Canada. This systems will continue to stay in Canada as the omega front won't allow for them to travel south. There is precipitation from Louisiana eastward to the Ohio valley. This is from the stationary fronts that that area is experiencing. As one front is rotating clock wise with warm air and the other rotating counter clockwise with cold air, this causes that precipitation that they are experiencing. 

This last picture is of the jet stream that the U.S. is currently experiencing. you can see that the jet stream dips far into the south then again back up into the Ohio valley. This causes the eastern side of the U.S to have wet cold weather and the midwest with warm weather. This is a direct effect from the omega high.
