We were left with quite a bit of snow yesterday which is made all the worse because the temperature is 35 degrees.  This is causing the already very wet snow to continue to melt and leave slush on the roads.



As you can see the pressure is back on the rise after the storm's passing.


It looks like the Occluded front over Wisconsin could die off and allow a warm front to move in from Montana.  I'd look to see warmer temperatures and higher pressure throughout this week, possibly ending with more precipitation from the Montana Low cell.

The sky is overcast and it was snowing.  The snow has ceased for now but it seems like we will be receiving a lot more precipitation from the low pressure cell moving in from the west.  The temperature is about 30 degrees with almost 0 dew point depression.  I think as the air cools tonight, especially if the cold front from that low pressure cell hits us, we will see a lot more precipitation since the relative humidity is already 97%. 

Shown here, the low pressure cell is centered right over Nebraska and South Dakota.

This is the path of air flow at the 500mb/temp level.  It is showing that from where I approximated the center of the Low, the path should take the center pretty much right over Eau Claire, WI.
