The weather today was very nice. Right now it is 36 degrees with zero precipitation! About time. It was generally sunny and breezy today. We had 52% humidity and winds coming from the South.

The surface map shows that there is a high on the boarder of WI and MN. As a review: High pressure areas are normally caused by a phenomenon called subsidence, meaning that as the air in the high cools it becomes denser and moves toward the ground. We could be looking at clear skies for a while!
