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.

A Sunny Sky Can Be Deceiving

The weather today was similar to yesterday, which is what I predicted.  However, the shade of the sky was much more clear and blue.  Cloud cover was minimal, with most of the clouds being cirrus.  The overall temperature was colder (current temperature of -3°F).  Since the sky is currently clear, a significant amount of the heat being released by the surface will not be trapped within the atmosphere.

Based on the current conditions, I predict that the weather will remain in the same pattern.  The temperature may increase a little, but it will still be cold.  Cloud cover will be minimal and precipitation unlikely.

in the central part of the US coincides with the Eau Claire area currently
experiencing a southwest wind.
