Tuesday's Observation

Today is wonderful and makes me excited for the continual warming up towards spring. Today's temperature is 46.8 deg F with 43.2 deg F. The dew point is at 26.1 deg F.  The wind is from the southwest blowing at around 5 mph. The barometer is at 1017.3 mb which is down almost 10 mb from yesterday. This shows that the pressure is dropping in the area as the low pressure system moves in from the west.  The skies are around 80% covered with cirrostratus clouds today. This is keeping some of our warmer air in therefore increasing our outside temperatures. This surface station map from Unisys weather confirms the clear skies and southwest winds in the region. You can notice where the low pressure system is moving across the Dakotas and nebraskaas that is where the wind directions are from the north or west.

I predict some rain showers in the early morning as this low pressure system pushes into Wisconsin.
