Holy wind!! We are in the middle of a strong low pressure system right now. The winds are from the WSW at 20 mph and gusts up to 26! This system did not bring the expected precipitation with it though. We are getting a few flurries but nothing significant. The temperature is 30.7°F but feels like it's in the teens. There is talk that another strong low pressure system will make its way from the southern plains into our area Tuesday and Wednesday. We are actually in a winter storm watch for those days as some moist Gulf air is heading this way. 

The tight white lines of pressure around MN and WI indicate strong winds. The wind map below shows the winds are blowing inwards and in a counter clockwise fashion in this area which is an obvious indicator of a low pressure system.
