Current Temperature: 36° F
Humidity: 79 %
Wind Direction: W
Wind Speed: 20 mph, gusts up to 28 mph
Sky Conditions: Overcast
Right now the temperature is brutally cold, sitting at 36 degrees. Last night and this morning snow flurries fell to the ground, however, all of the snow is gone because of the warmth of the ground and the air. The winds are still coming in from the west at a great pace, because of the low pressure system to the northeast. The sky is completely covered in stratus clouds and the humidity is high at 79%, good conditions for more rain.
Bemidji, Minneapolis, Duluth, and Eau Claire are all reporting rain, meaning it is likely we will see more in the next couple of hours. However, the water vapor map isn't reporting much water vapor in the air in Minnesota and Eau Claire, this could be a much greater storm if the conditions persist. Minneapolis's upper air chart is showing the dew point and temperature reaching the same level very low in the atmosphere, resulting in precipiation. Expect that chart to be very similar to the one in Eau Claire.
Tomorrow and Thursday will have very similar weather patterns with temperatures in the 40s and no sun. Expect Friday and Saturday to start to warm up.
