How did you enjoy the storm last night, anyone's power go out? As you can see on the surface map there are still some storms going in Wisconsin. The storms today are again associated with the convective lifting occurring on the stationary front in central Wisconsin. The other contributing factor to these storms, which you might have noticed on the wind map, are the weak series of lows throughout the country and a strong subtropical jet.
You can see both of those trends on the water vapor satellite image above. This has a allowed warm moist air to move far up into the Northern regions of the United States. However the weak lows we have seen today and the past couple of days have allowed cooler air from Canada to move Southward and cause convective lifting in affect forming these stationary front bands of storms. As the cold front progresses South through Wisconsin today much of Wisconsin will experience precipitation. Eau Claire and place north of Eau Claire in Wisconsin will likely being to notice some clearing conditions.
