Mon, May 7

Today was nice, and tomorrow will be nicer. As the low pressure system moves East and the jet ridge recedes north, the weather is going to look very nice for us. The clouds from the departing system depressed temperatures on the surface today by dampening insolation, so the high only reached 69° today (it is currently 63°). There are still some cumulus humilis (a good sign) in the sky as the sun sets, with light cirrus in the upper cloud deck. winds are at 11 mph. out of the West. The storms of last weekend head East. 

Looking ahead, Highs rolling in from the west will ensure that the next couple of days are very sunny. If you've been planning a picnic ahead of finals, this would be the time to go. We should be clear through tomorrow, and with nothing but highs coming from the Rockies maybe for the rest of the week. That is, if you stay in Wisconsin.
