Dew Point: 35°F
Wind: NNW 14 mph
Clouds: Cumulus
Precipitation: 20%

Temperatures remained relatively high today with stronger winds than usual. The high pressure system kept from any exciting weather from happening. Now the winds are coming from the NNW at 14 mph. That can lead to cooler temperatures starting tonight into tomorrow.

Most of the precipitation is showing between the two cold fronts to the east. The dry air in the SE is due to the winds coming from the north and circling back up in the cyclone pattern.

There is still a large gap when the next low pressure system will reach the Midwest. Therefore, if the NW winds continue, temperatures should be lower than they have the last few days. This pattern should stay for tomorrow and Saturday. No spring storms yet to worry about.
