Its currently 11 am and my predictions for today were pretty accurate.  The winds shifted towards the north, temperatures have remained pretty stable and we ended up finally getting the snow we've been expecting because of the low pressure system and the occluded front that passed through.  Current conditions are 36 degrees and the sky is completely overcast with some fog as well which I'd classify as radiation fog?  As I mentioned earlier it snowed overnight accumulating a few inches and is currently raining however, I expect the rain to stop in the next few hours as this front passes by.  There is little to no wind currently but the wind that there is seems to be coming from the north, northwest.  The dew point is 31 degrees and the relative humidity is 93% so the air is very saturated which is another reason for this precipitation.  Barometric pressure hasn't changed very much and is at 1029.5 and steady.  My prediction for tomorrow is for the clouds to break up bringing in some sunshine and for temperatures to rise into the mid 40's with winds shifting towards the west with no precipitation on the way.  You can see when looking at this picture from unisys the amount of water vapor currently in the air over Wisconsin.
