Warm Weekend

Temperatures continued to rise this weekend.  Unfortunately, I had to work all weekend and wasn't able to make many observations.  As I was getting to work yesterday, a light snow began falling.  I'm not sure on the duration, but it didn't amount to much overall.  The temperature was still fairly warm with calm to light wind conditions when I left work last night.

On my way to work this morning, the sky was overcast with calm to light wind conditions.  When I left work, the temperature was comfortably warm.  As seen in the first figure below, the current temperature for Eau Claire is still 41 degrees Fahrenheit.  According to The Weather Channel, the wind has increased significantly since earlier this evening.  The wind is currently coming from the west at 21 miles per hour.

The weather tomorrow should be very similar to today.  The temperature will be in the 30's for most of the day.  However, a moderate to strong wind will be present.  This may make the overall temperature feel colder.  There should be a fair amount of cloud cover due to the low-pressure system in the area (second figure below), but a lack of available water vapor will make precipitation unlikely.
