A blanket of stratocumulus clouds helped make today feel warmer than it actually was. Even though the surface temps were in the low 40s it felt like it was near the mid to upper 40s because of the increased clouds. The clouds are because of the low pressure system in the form of a mid latitude cyclone which is right now centered over Lake Superior. We are receiving some winds from the northwest which are cooling things off slightly but nothing like what it would be if high pressure were around.
With this system moving northeast expect for high pressure to move in tomorrow clearing the skies. I was wrong today in saying the skies would be cleared by noon but the rain that fell did dry up around then. The rain in Kansas which I thought would maybe move northward last night kept going east following the cool front. With the clear skies tomorrow temps are looking to stay the same with the way the high pressure will move in. Even though the temps are expected to be higher next week I don't think tomorrow will be a great day for a temp increase.
