Look at the temperature difference

Looking at temperatures across the region, I'm sure you can pick out where the warm front sits.  Monday, I talked about how the warm front would have a little bit of a hard time trying to move North because of winds coming in from Lake Michigan thanks to high pressure northeast of the Great Lakes.  Our wind direction is from the East (and gusty at times) which isn't the ideal direction for allowing temperatures to rise.   Look at the temperature in Milwaukee (at 10am) - it's only 49° while further west away from the lake, temperatures have risen into the 60s and even 70s thanks to more of a southerly wind.  The front will gradually move North tonight and tomorrow as the high pressure system moves south.  By tomorrow, we should all be on the warm side of the front with temperatures rising into the mid to upper 70s!
