That's What Weather Systems Do!

The low pressure center that reorganized over southeastern Colorado and southwestern Kansas has not moved further north today. It is now located over southern Minnesota. The station model plots so the mild air east of Iowa while colder air is overspreading the state from the west and southwest. Even colder air is moving south across the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas. As the warm and cold air is drawn into the low center the air masses mix and gradually dissipate the temperature contrast over the Midwest. That’s what weather systems do and that is why they exist!
