Weather Observations Thursday May 10th

After all the rain that pushed through on Tuesday and Wednesday, some high pressure finally came in and dominated the area.  I think I counted three clouds in the sky all day while I was down in Milwaukee.  Cloud cover 0%.  Sunny conditions, with a high of 67F.  Winds light to none at all.  This seems like a typical day after a storm that is associated with higher pressure.  Very clear conditions as we head into the nighttime hours.  Should be a nice cool night with little to no cloud cover.  As we look forward to the weekend....

You can see the low pressure just off to our southwest as well as a cold front approaching too.  The center of the high pressure is now just south of Lake Michigan and depending on where it moves we could either see very clear conditions or some precipitation.  I'm going to bank on the fact that this High pressure system will keep moving to our east slowly.  As this does so, the low pressure is going to be right behind which means that we might be in for more noticable winds tomorrow.  Probably a few more clouds than 3 the whole day too.  You can see small little pockets of moisture showing up as light precipitation.  This is probably caused by the disturbance or difference as the low pressure closes in on the areas that were experiencing alot of daytime heating today.
