The temperature has taken a significant hit the last couple of days dropping the highs to the 40s.  As the cold front moved to to Southern United States, the temperatures to the north have dropped.  This cold opened up the air to be moved in from the north.  The high pressure system in Nebraska, rotating clockwise, is bringing winds from Canada into Minnesota, and Wisconsin.  The humidity has also dropped from yesterday, making the air feel chilly and cold.

Tomorrow, the high is expected to be around 46°F and partly sunny, much similar to today, but less clear.  The only clouds in the sky right row are cirrus, high in the atmosphere.  As the high pressure system continues to move East, expected winds from the North to continue.

Figure 1: The cold front, in south eastern United States, is opening up the North, and cooling temperatures.  The
 high pressure system in Nebraska is rotating clockwise, bringing winds from the north to Eau Claire.
