It has been overcast all day here in Eau Claire, with temperatures staying around the freezing point most of the day. The snow storm that was supposed to start earlier this morning has moved slower than predicted and it has just starting snowing in Eau Claire within the last hour. There is a massive low pressure system that is currently situated over southeastern Iowa and Illinois and is supposed to move right over our area throughout the day on Friday.

There are large amount of water vapor surrounding much of Wisconsin and Minnesota. This is helping to fuel the low pressure system that is bringing all the precipitation to our area.

I predict that tomorrow we will have lingering flurries from the passing low pressure system. Due to the the large change in pressure, I believe we will see very high wind speeds as the system moves across the state. With winds currently coming out of the east, I predict that they will shift and come out of the west once the system has passed. The temperatures will drop slightly tomorrow, and the high wind speeds will cause the wind chills to drop below zero once again.
