29. Cold and cloudy Monday. Cool and sunny today, Tuesday. In the dirty north flow behind the last cold front, yesterday had problems clearing the clouds, resulting in overcast skies, cold temperatures, and breezy conditions. High temperatures in the Upper-Midwest ranged from the low-50s to 60.
My weather station recorded the highest temperature at midnight, as temperatures fell throughout the day. Afternoon temps were in around 52 degrees.

A high pressure (1020mb) drifted across the region last night and this morning. Clouds finally broke up before dawn this morning. Late this afternoon a trough of low pressure is moving west from the Dakotas. Winds are returning to a southerly flow head of the approaching wave, allowing temps to reach 60s in most areas.
