We were close in a few locations, but it looks like we won’t break any record high temperatures today. Strong southwest winds brought high temperatures in the middle to upper 80′s. We were one degree away from tying a record here in Wausau. It felt like someone blowing a blow dry in your face!!! The wind topped at 45 mph in Wausau this afternoon. On the way to work I noticed a couple large branches down in Weston.
Here are some of the High temperatures recorded today!
Rhinelander: 87 (89,1994)
Wausau: 86 (87,1975)
Wisc. Rapids: 86 (95,1934)
Marshfield: 86 (90,1934)
Merrill: 84 (91,1934)
Antigo: 82 (88,1975)
To cool things off a bit..the N.W.S. has posted the official area snowfall totals from last winter, many places with a top 20 snowy winter…thanks mostly to December(the snowiest month ever in Wausau).

Brian:
In a weather related question- what is the cause and composition of the foam that is being produced and landing onto the shore
in Fla.?
We certainly enjoy your informative weather reports.
Thanks
Hi Colleen,
I am not sure if you are referring to a recent occurrence along the shores of Florida or just sea foam in general? Sea form is usually made up of things you probably don’t want to know about….from oils of dead fish and other organisms, to various pollutants that get churned up in the choppy waters. So don’t swim in it:)
