Thursday, Feb. 17th

Currently it is 36 degrees F and feels like 26 degrees F. Earlier today we reached 45 degrees F and had very dense fog, specifically advection fog. This type of fog is formed when a warm moist air mass blows over a cold surface (usually snow or ice). The winds have changed from south to west northwest and are gusting up to 28 mph. This change in wind direction is due to the low pressure system over northern MN. With the low pressure system the air is moving counter-clockwise, giving us the westerly winds. Along with this system will be cooler temperatures, as the high for tomorrow is 33 degrees F.
