Apologies for the late night post everyone. I was rock climbing all day and had the most monstrous cookout, with three of my good buddies, I have ever taken part in. I am sore, tired, bruised up, uncomfortably full, laying in my bed on the verge of sleep, and ready to give you all a late night weather briefing.

I will admit there was not any sun today as I predicted and it didn't get very warm at all. This was due to the center of a low pressure system moving farther south into Wisconsin than I had anticipated. Which of course resulted in cloudy conditions, prohibiting the earth's surface to be warmed up by the sun.

Examine the map above and you will notice the mixing of a warm front and cold front on the northwest edge of Wisconsin. This is resulting in an occluded front, which indicates the warm front is giving way to the cold front. Which as you all now means the colder air is causing the warm air to rise. Which raises the question, will this result in the possible precipitation I had mentioned in my last post?

Based on my observations of the water vapor satellite image above I am inclined to say no. It is pretty clear that there isn't a significant amount of precipitation in our general area. So for tomorrow expect warmer conditions and less cloud cover, associated with a high pressure system.
