Wisconsinite Shorts Weather - February 26, 2017

Temperature: 44°F
Dew Point: 23°F
Wind: S 8 mph
Clouds: Clear

Temperatures were significantly high today. Much of the snow from this past weekend was melting today creating a series of puddles everywhere. Anytime temperatures reach above 40, people in Wisconsin think it's shorts weather. Winds that are coming from the south are pushing up more of the warm air.

The jet stream is moving directly west across the US with minimal troughs or irregularities in its pattern. Currently, there is not much for weather events stirring up in the US.

There is a low pressure system from  the north with cold air behind it. Much the US is covered in high pressure temperatures covering most of the US behind a stationary front.
