After the constant snowfall yesterday, it is nice to finally see the light, literally. It is a beautiful sunny day with clear skies! Hopefully all of this sunshine will start melting all of the snow we received yesterday. It is a bit chillier today which is most likely because Eau Claire isn't receiving the warm southerly winds. In the northeast region of the U.S. near the Great Lakes, the winds blowing in a rather circular rotation. Looking at the forecast map, we can see that there is a low pressure system in region where the winds are circulating. There is also that same circular pattern surrounding the high pressure dome near Texas. There is a warm from coming from the west that will hopefully make the temperatures a little bit warmer tomorrow. However, the temperatures will be warmer but it looks like Eau Claire will still see snow again. At least there was a one day break between storms.

Snow has been falling all day and will most likely continue into the night. Luckily it has been relatively warm enough to where the snow is sticking to the grass but not really effecting the roads. Eau Claire is sitting in the snow region and also the heavy snow possible region. Winds seem to be coming from all different directions towards the midwestern region. Hopefully the precipitation continues to stay in snow form online our neighbors to the east that could receive possible freezing rain. My prediction for tomorrow is that Eau Claire will hopefully see some sunshine that will start to melt all of the snow we have been getting.

It is a chilly and gloomy day here in the city of Eau Claire. Although, we are receiving southerly winds, they are not continental tropical winds so it they aren't providing much warmth. There is an overcast sky that will likely continue throughout the whole day. Eau Claire is in the winter storm warning section on the alert map and most of Wisconsin falls under the winter storm watch alert. There will be quite a bit of snowfall for tomorrow. Looking at the national forecast chart, it looks like Eau Claire is located in the section that could be experiencing both rain and snow. Hopefully there will not be any freezing rain tomorrow.

It is a beautiful sunny day in Eau Claire. It looks like there will be a mini heat wave the next few days which will be very enjoyable. Looking at the forecast map, it appears that the sunshine might not last all day because Wisconsin is right in between a patch of cloud cover. Also, the wind map shows the marine tropical gulf winds stopping right along the cold front. It appears that the southeastern region of the U.S. is still experiencing some heavy precipitation. The wind map also representing the low pressure system and cold front that is northwest of Wisconsin in Canada. Although these high temperatures are nice, unfortunately they are not staying. Within the nest few days the temperatures will start creeping back down into the 30's. My prediction for tomorrow is that temperatures continue to stay relatively high and it should be a partly cloudy day.

It is a pretty gloomy day here in Eau Claire. The temperatures are getting pretty chilly from the continental polar winds coming in from the north and it is overall an overcast day. Looking at the forecast map, there is a series of lows following the cold front which is what is bringing large amounts of precipitation in the southeast. The forecast map also shows that the whole state of WI is under cloud cover which is what we are seeing today. The wind map shows winds coming from the Gulf of Mexico and stopping along the cold front. Similarly, winds moving south from the midwest are also stopping along that cold front. The southerly winds are also bringing more moisture to the existing precipitation which causing flood warnings in that region.

Once again, another absolutely beautiful day here in Eau Claire! Clear blue skies and lots of sunshine. Also, it is warmer than yesterday like I predicted which is a plus. Wind direction is coming from the west but it looks like those west winds are meeting with southerly wind. The continental tropical winds can be thanked for this increase in temperature from yesterday. Winds can be very important in influencing temperatures. On the temperature map, the warmer areas around the midwest are at the same location as where the south winds are pushing warm air north. The cooler areas one the east side of the US are located in the higher elevated areas on the Great Smoky mountains. The cooler areas on far western side of the US are located in the higher elevated areas on the Rocky Mountains. Temperature decreases with elevation.

Another beautiful day in sunny Eau Claire! The high pressure dome shown on the radar map is to thank for the clear skies. However, temperatures are slightly lower than yesterday which contradicts yesterdays prediction. Continental polar winds are still coming from northern Canada which could explain these colder temperatures. Looking at the temperature map, it does look like most of Canada is colder than it was yesterday. An interesting observation from the wind map is the that there are winds to the west of Minnesota that are actually coming from the southwest moving north. As these winds are carried east from the polar jet stream, the midwest will hopefully warm up a bit as southerly winds will start carrying continental tropical air north. My prediction for tomorrow is that hopefully temperatures get a little warmer and the high pressure dome will continue to give us a sunny day.
