Currently the temperature is 59 degrees out, with winds out of west most of the day. It was relatively chilly all day with overcast skies. There was no precipitation, but the skies had stratocumulus clouds all day. It did look like there was the possibility of rain, but with no prevail. The pressure has risen slightly since yesterday, when the pressure was in the 29 range more. Humidity has risen since yesterday however.

 Above is the current surface recordings for the midwest. You can see there is not much going on for most of the state of Wisconsin. There was a cold front that moved through today, hence why the temperatures have dropped compared to the last couple days. Along that cold front you can see precipitation that is following the front as it moves its way east. There is also a low pressure system that is sitting in the upper peninsula currently. This is also helping build up that precipitation.

 This is the current radar for the midwest. You can see currently that Milwaukee and down through Chicago are currently getting hit with rain. I currently have a buddy who is stuck in the Chicago airport as he is trying to get home on the east coast. There really isn't much happening in the northern portions of the state however.

 This is the Stuve diagram from the Minneapolis weather station. You can see that the two lines crossed earlier today, causing some precipitation for that area. The LI index increased drastically from yesterday, helping with stabilizing the atmosphere more.

This final picture is of the current surface temperatures across the nation. Looking to our west, you can see how temperatures have cooled down in Wyoming and Montana. These temperatures will rise a little as they make their way towards us, but it will cool down some early next week. You can see from Texas up to New York that temperatures are mostly in the 80's. I guess its okay that the east coast is finally getting some warmer temperatures after the cold winter they had.
