Snow fell a little earlier than I had anticipated today but all we got was nothing more than a light dusting. Warmer temps keep rolling in and I expect this trend to continue. I doubt it will not be consistently in the 30s for a while but that time isn't too far into the future now. Looking at the surface map for today we can see that there is a low pressure system moving through which is causing the pressure to drop and the clouds to cover the sky.
There is a small cluster of clouds over southern Minnesota and into South Dakota which will be making its way into Wisconsin but it looks like it will be too far south to affect us because with these conditions it could easily cause more snow fall.
If you bother to look at a driving conditions map you'll notice that in the south particularly Louisiana that there is a lot of ice on the roads. This is a result of the freezing rain they experienced earlier today. I'm sure there were a lot of cars in ditches down there just like up here last weekend. For tomorrow expect slightly warmer temps with similar winds and lower pressure. Cloud cover should still be pretty high for the next couple days as well.
