Right now, it is beautiful in the Chippewa Valley. It is pretty windy, but warm temperatures and sunny skies are making this one of the most comfortable days yet this year. We are still getting southeast winds but, like yesterday, this doesn't seem to be from low pressure to our south but rather high pressure to the north (Figure 1).
If you plan on enjoying the outdoors at all this week, today is the day. It looks like Wisconsin, as well as a good chunk of the Plains will be getting some pretty wicked storms for the next few days. This time of year is always a bit volatile thanks to warm air masses from the south and cold air masses from the north colliding. This is why spring is tornado season in the US.
Figures 2 and 3 show areas that will probably be hit with some damaging storms Wednesday and Thursday. As I guessed, the pressure has dropped a little since yesterday, and will probably continue to do so leading up to the stormy couple of days we will see at the end of the week.
