Today we are experiencing the edge of a storm which blew through the Chicago land region today. I was wrong in saying that high pressure was moving in when in reality a low pressure system is moving north into Wisconsin and bringing with it a mess of precipitation which the Chippewa Valley won't be receiving much of at all. Yesterday I was accurate in predicting the amount of precipitation we received which was very little but since it was freezing rain it felt worse than it could have been. 

In the surface map above you the large blue swath is heading almost straight north. This pattern coincides with what has been happening all winter. We will still be getting some precipitation but not even an inch of rain or snow. For tomorrow expect this low pressure to bring with it higher winds as it moves through but once it's past we should have warmer temps into the weekend. The clouds won't break until this system moves through but that also means there will be a chance at more precipitation but I'm not going to worry about it.
