As you can see from the current surface map, our warm temperatures may be caused because of a low front moving into or area. The map also shows spots of fog in the Wisconsin area, which is probably Evaporation fog due to snow melting.

As you can, temperatures are a lot higher than they have been the past couple days, and we can expect the same throughout the week. If it cools down at all, it shouldn't go any lower than 20 degrees or so.

Weather Conditions for Thursday, February 10th 2011

It's still super cold out there! Even though today we had somewhat of a rise in temperatures (it's still currently a whopping -6 degrees). Today there was 0% cloud coverage, which could have had an influence on the colder temperatures, and there was also hardly any wind. What wind there was, was a WSW wind. Another reason (and probably the main reason) for the cold temperatures in our area is because we still have arctic air coming in from the jet stream. It is supposed to continue to get warmer after tomorrow though, with a high of 27 degrees, and even possible flurries! Tomorrow night's low is supposed to be aound 17 degrees.

Tonight the low will get down to -10 degrees, with WSW winds around 5 mph. Tomorrow temperatures should finally get out of the single digit zone, with a predicted high of 13 degrees, and a low of 4 degrees, along with a small chance of flurries. A SW wind tomorrow will greatly influence the temperature change. The current surface map of our area looks pretty uneventful, as shown below.
