A line of storms moved through the area this morning around 8:00 am. From then on it rained until about 1:00pm, where it just remained cloudy and windy. Cloud coverage has been at 100% all day with nimbostratus clouds. The wind is coming from the SSE at 15 mph. The current temperature is 55 degrees F with no real noticeable wind chill.

Looking at this surface map we see the storms that were affecting us this morning over the middle portion of the state. There is a stationary front in southern Minnesota and NE Iowa that is causing all this precipitation.

The jet stream is looking slightly zonal, with a small trough in the Western states. It moves up slightly by us, almost creating an Omega pattern, but it isn't quite at that point yet.

Looking at lightning strikes, we can see that all of these storms in Wisconsin at the moment are creating lightning. There have even been some reports of hail in the area.
My prediction for tonight into tomorrow, is more chances of thunderstorms tonight (crossing my fingers!) and tomorrow as well. Tomorrow the temperatures are supposed to become higher, around 76 degrees F for the high, with a chance of Isolated thunderstorms in the evening.
