I mentioned the possibility for more storms to occur today. Although nothing has happened throughout the morning into the afternoon, it appears that my prediction may soon become accurate. Although I still waiting to determine whether or not my storm prediction was accurate, I can conclude that I was not right in assuming the warm front to the south would affect Wisconsin. The front has appeared to die out as of today, and the major contribution to warm temperatures has been consistent south winds along with a high pressure jet stream ridge.
This morning once again started out fairly sunny with only a few cirrus clouds. However, as the day soon progressed into the after cloud cover thickened and the skies are not covered with cumulus congestus type clouds, which possibly identify some incoming storms. In addition to the growing cumulus clouds a low pressure system off to the north west will allow for even more potential for storms. Because of the low pressure to the north west and high pressure to the south east, Wisconsin is being affected by very strong gust of south winds. If cloud cover and low pressure were not enough to create means for a storm, an incoming cold front to the west will likely contrast to the warm moist air that we have been experiencing the last few days. As the cold front makes its way over with low pressure, warm moist air will be uplifted causing already cumulus congestus clouds to gain even more vertical growth and wind speeds will likely become even stronger. With all the current variables, storms at this point seem inevitable for sometime this evening.
For tomorrow I expect temperatures to cool down a little bit as the cold front makes its way over Wisconsin. Despite a slight decrease in temperature I do not expect anything dramatic considering we are still sitting within a consistent high pressure ridge. With oncoming low pressure as well, winds may be slightly more significant and skies will likely be moderately cloudy.
