Current Conditions:
Temperature: 34° F
Wind Chill: 24° F
Wind Speed: SE at 15 mph. Gusts at 23 mph.
Dew Point: 18° F
Barometric Pressure: 1011.3 mb

It was slightly warmer today in Eau Claire, but the wind didn't help to make it feel warmer! We had strong SE winds throughout the day! It was slightly cloudy this morning, but began to clear up as the day went on. By midday, the skies were mainly clear with a few clouds that appeared to be cumulus. As sunset approached, the skies were starting to cloud up. I believe that is due to the approaching low pressure system.


Above is a map of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. There is a large amount of water vapor over much of Wyoming and the eastern half of South Dakota and Nebraska. I believe this is due to the low pressure system that is currently sitting over that area of the country. We are predicted to get rain for most of the day tomorrow.


I believe we will see a fair amount of precipitation tomorrow. Since there is already a large amount of water vapor in the air and a strong southerly wind will be bringing more moist air to our area, I believe this system will have a lot of fuel to produce precipitation for most of the day.
