Some facts about this storm system

I thought I would put out some interesting facts on this storm system...
First on is the pressure...29.20 inches and still falling so that reading my go lower,nevertheless that is a low pressure reading...Not the lowest I have seen,but does show everyone how strong this storm system is...Winds have been gusty all night long here @ the Weather Center we had a gusts up to 32 MPH...Most have been in the range of 25 to 30...Temp this morning here @ the office is 42.6 @ 4:30 AM...
This storm system did bring us FRZ rain yesterday morning which did cause numerous accidents, mainly North of a HWY 8 line see post below....This system also brought in our first thunderstorm of the year around 4:40 PM....Rainfall was on the light side less than 1/4 inch...
I see Rice Lake is coming in 47° I'm up to 44.1° so the WAA still kicking in....
Do think temps will slowly fall later..Winds will remain rather strong 20 to 25 MPH with gusts from 30 to 35 MPH today,will also toss in some light rain,as radar is showing a line of light showers moving into the area...Tonight temps fall into the upper 20s with some light rain changing over to light snow...Highs do cool off for the rest of the week with 20s to around 30...
Lows lower to middle teens....Next week we may be dealing with a major snowstorm more on that later in the week.....
