Another Uneventful Day

Current Conditions

Temperature: 6 degrees, feels like -4 degrees
Humidity: 80%
Winds: W 5 mph
Pressure: 1024.4
Visibility: 9 miles

Today started out much like it ended with a temperature of -6 feeling like -14 degrees.  Winds were out of the south at 4 mph and skies were briefly sunny around 7:00 AM but turned overcast the rest of the day with 100% light cloud cover (Figure 1). 

Figure 1. Sunrise at 7:30 AM with light, wispy clouds that would eventually become total cloud cover.

At 12:00 PM the temperature had risen to 12 degrees and felt like 0 with winds SSW at 9 mph.  Conditions were pretty steady all day and reminiscent of  the past  few days in terms of wind speed and temperature. 

My prediction from yesterday was mostly correct.  Temperatures were cooler, however it did reach the lower teens. Winds were also light if there were any at all.  Oh, and it was definitely cold in Minneapolis but that didn't seem to stop the Eagles...

For tomorrow, I imagine temperatures will stay in the teens with the high pressure system in the upper Midwest and possibly some light winds like today.  Overall, there won't be much change from what we've seen in the last few days.
