Tuesday, May 10th

The current temperature on-campus is an amazing 75 degrees F. There are 10mph ESE winds and 52% relative humidity. The barometric pressure reading is at about 1002mb, but has been slowly falling since around 11am this morning. A warm front is right over southeastern Wisconsin, so even warmer temperatures are expected. Connected with this front is a low pressure system, which as it nears, is the reason for the falling pressure reading. Right now there is about 10% cloud cover, with mostly altostratus clouds. For tonight, we will see increasing cloud cover and warm temperatures. The low for tonight is 59 degrees. Tomorrow we could reach 80 degrees once the warm front passes over us. There is also a chance for t-storms. Below is the stuve diagram for the station in Minneapolis. It will be interesting to keep watching this into tomorrow and make note of the different index levels. The LI index already indicates that thunder storms are probable and the KI index is in the 50% chance of thunderstorms category.
