May 4th Weather

Today is very sunny and warm.  It was predicted to thunderstorm all day today but so far there have been no storms.  The early morning hours had clear skies.  Currently it is becoming cloudier with some stratus clouds in the distance.  I anticipate it will rain soon. It is 73 F but feels like 69 F. There is an occluded front just below Wisconsin meaning it is stationary and this weather we have been experiencing all week will likely continue into the weekend.


May 3rd Weather

The weather on May 3rd was all over the place.  One minute it would be raining and the next it was sunny.  The wind direction was from the east and pretty gusty with wind speeds of 12 mph. It was very warm out though with high of 72 F.

April 26 Weather

Today started off with a fractered cloudy sky with cumulous stratus clouds.  It looked like rain for a good part of the early morning.  Skies cleared and it was sunny for all the rest of the day.  A cold front from the continental polar air mass pushed through cooling the evening right up.  Now that air mass sits towards the bottom of the country. The current temperature is 40.5 F with zero winds and a low barometric pressure that is slowly rising. Currently we are in a freeze warning. Tomorrow will be cloudy with a chance of showers in the evening.

April 19th Weather

Today temperatures are cool and rain is anticipated. There is a cold front passing through most of the country with a low pressure system right above Texas. This will produce some very servere storms for Tornado Alley.  We will experience some of these storms too but not as servere. Eau Claire has a high barametric pressure but it is not changing so our weather will be like this for the next couple days.  The jetstreams have no ridges or troughs but by the end of the day  we should see the omega jet streams. The temperature is currently 40 F with little wind.

April 18th Weather

The morning started out with rain showers and gusty winds.  By early afternoon there was mostly cloudy skies.  The wind would blow the clouds quickly across the sky.  The sun would be out for a couple mins at a time and then hidden again by all the clouds.  By mid afternoon the skies cleared but where still partly cloudy. The clouds were cumulous nimbus. The storms that passed through Eau Claire is now an occluded front in norhern Michigan which means it is dying out. Right now there is clear skies with temperatures of 53 F.  Tomorrow we can expect more rain showers and the temperature to reach 47 F.

April 16th Weather

Today's weather was a shock.  There were snow showers in the morning lasting throughout the afternoon.  Yesterday there were tornado watches all day because the weather was right for conditions. There was a cold front that passed through the middle of the US. On the east side of the front temperatures were warm.  Pennsylvania was experiencing temperatures in the high 80's. Clouds were low and nimbus stratus.
