weather 3/2/12

Another dreary day for the Eau Claire area with highs reaching 34 degrees. A bit of snow fell in the area last night at around 11pm and there still are many icy areas from the constant melting and freezing. Another system will be coming out of the southwest and heading towards Madison and Chicago. Eau Claire might get clipped by this storm but no significant precipitation is expected. There is a slight chance of snow today and into tonight (30%) and winds will be from the WNW at 10mph. Highs for next week are expected to reach the upper 40's, it appears that spring will be here soon after this already mild winter! For the south more tornados/severe weather is expected, and Alabama has already seen a few tornados this morning and damage has already been reported.
