THE LAST ONE!!

Temperature: 59
Real Feel: 59
Wind: SE 13 mph 
Precipitation: 0%
Humidity: 48%

Today thus far has been very similar to the previous day as I had anticipated. I had anticipated that high pressure would last throughout most of the day and begin to die down, which appears to be true now that cloud cover and winds are much more significant later in the afternoon. In addition to the decrease in pressure, cloud cover has increased considering that moist air from the south has, as I predicted, made its way north. Although there hasn't been any rain thus far today, my prediction for it to occur sometime tonight still seem very possible.

Moist Air Today Providing Fuel For
Rain - Still More to Come
For the greater part of the day, the skies have been overcast with what look like stratocumulus cloud cover. The increase in cloud cover today compared to yesterday is strongly related to the decrease in pressure and increase in water vapor. The moist air that was to the south yesterday has appeared to have made its way to Wisconsin creating overcast skies. Not only has the moist air contributed to overcast skies, but it also has increased the possibility for rain sometime later today. With the south east winds created by the high pressure areas now to the east, chances of precipitation are very possible within the next several hours. Not only are conditions cloudy and likely going to be rainy, temperatures are still considerably cool as the effects from a cold front are still apparent. However, I don't expect the cool temperatures to continue for much longer.

High Pressure Has Moved East, Meaning
More Clouds and Winds Today
South East Winds in Combination With
Cloud Cover May Mean Rain

There Is The Rain!
Despite the fact I've been predicting temperatures to increase over the last couple of days, which they haven't, I am more confident in my prediction for warmer weather tomorrow. There is no longer any presence of a cold front affecting the Wisconsin area and with the continuation of southern winds and the current position of the jet stream, placing Wisconsin in a ridge, temperatures will definitely begin to increase. Although temperatures will likely increase the next few days high chances for precipitation remain likely as significant amounts water vapor continues to makes its way north.

For Temperature Increase Tomorrow
