Dodie dodie dodie...still icky outside...sad...

Well the weather still isn't being nice to us :( It's the middle of April and everyone is getting a mad case of spring fever. Yesterday's high reached 48F at 4:45pm. Winds were coming from the SSE around 20 mph. Because of this we received a lot a snowfall in before noon. However, by the end of the afternoon most of the snow was melted due to warming temperatures.

Today's high reached 45F at noon, but the current temperature is at 41F and feels like 35F. Winds are coming from the NW around 10 mph. Today's humidity is at 93% with a dew point of 38F. These wind direction and humidity level are causing overcast and drizzly conditions.


The surface map shows a cold front in the upper midwest, going right through the middle of Wisconsin. This is bringing cold air into our region and is also a culprit for the rainy conditions were experiencing today.



 Looking at the wind map we can see right where this cold front is located with an extreme change in wind direction.

 This a also shows going in to the temperature map. we can see a line of a dramatic change in temperature right where the cold front is located.



For the remainder of the afternoon we are expecting precipitation in form of rainfall, with an accumlation between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. After 11 pm we are expecting a mix between rain and snow, with a possible snow accumulation of 1-3 inches. 


Tomorrow's forecast calls for a high around 43F and overcast skies. Winds will shift and will be coming from the NNW around 10-20 mph.
