It is almost the end of school this semester and the weather is definitely cooperating. Today the skies are mostly clear with round 10-20 percent cloud cover and the clouds are cumulus. The winds are from the NW at 3 mph, the barometer is at 29.97 inches and dropping due to a low pressure system sitting out in the great plains moving in. The air is quite dry right now with a dew point of 38 degrees. Tomorrow as the low pressure system approaches, there will be a chance of thunderstorms, however no severe weather is expected! This is good for the last day of class tomorrow! Time to get ready for finals!

After a monsoon like day yesterday, the Eau Claire region received 1.83 inches of rain. Today's temperatures have dropped around 10 degrees from yesterday and the high for today will only get up to around 60 degrees. The sky is currently 100 percent cloud covered and the winds are light from the NE at 10mph. The cold front and low pressure system that brought all of the moisture is slowly moving into Illinois and providing the area with severe weather. There is still a lot of moisture in the air and the humidity is still 93% since the storm just recently moved through.
