Welcome Text

Welcome to my weather blog. Throughout the semester, I will be making daily updates (including corresponding photos and/or videos) about the weather occurring in the Eau Claire area. In addition, many photos and videos illustrating weather from other parts of the world that I find interesting will be included.

Storms on the Horizon

Today's weather was fairly mild.  Walking into the school this morning, the sky was overcast.  The temperature was on the cooler side.  However, the sun eventually broke through and remained for the remainder of the day.  Mixed cloud cover ranged from clear to scattered.  A light SE wind was present for most of the day.

Figure 1 shows a significant amount of low pressure surrounding the area. Based on that, I predict an increase in cloud cover tomorrow and a likely chance of precipitation.  Wind should also switch directions and possibly increase with the front(s) moving through.  Temperature will decrease due to the approaching cold front.
