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!

The skies are expected to clear more later i nthe afternoon and the winds are from the NNW at 10mph. The air is quite dry at 38 percent humidity and with this low humdity and sunny skies this will allow the temperature to drop tonight into the 40's. The tree pollen is at full force right now and my allergies are affecting me today with the calm winds.

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.

5/3/12

Strong thunderstorms are currently moving through the eau claire region, a gust of around 50-60 mph just came through and now the rain is coming down in buckets. The gust is due to the pronounced heavy inflow of air from the back of this little storm. The low pressure system is sitting over the twin cities right now and is helping to produce this convective thunderstorms. There is a possibility for more severe weather later today especially if the sun comes out to help warm up the air. The winds are from the NW at 20 mph with gusts. The humidity is around 90% and the dew point is 65 degrees. The high for today is going to be around 78 and the low for tonight will be around 50.

After a very busy weekend I am back. The weather today is expected to be quite warm with highs reaching 77 degrees. The winds will be from the SSE at 20mph which is pumping lots of sticky moisture up from the gulf. The jet stream is hovering over the northern united states and if it decides to dip down farther later today this will be the recipe for severe weather in the northern plains. Tonight the low will be 61 degrees which is quite balmy from what we have been seeing as of late. There is a 50% chance of thunderstorms and possibly severe weather tonight and into tomorrow during the day. The high for tomorrow will be 80 degrees which is again above average and the winds will switch to the SSW at 10mph.
