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.
