Wind Chill: 39°
Wind Direction: NW at 7 mph.
Dew Point: 39° F
Barometric Pressure: 1006.0 mb

These cool and cloudy days seem like they are going to be sticking around forever! It is another cool day in Eau Claire with temperatures in the lower 40's. The winds have shifted from an easterly direction and are now coming from the northwest. This shows that the center of the low pressure has passed and is currently located to our southeast. The pressure has been raising slightly, which also means that the system has passed and is starting to move from the area. Given the size of this system, I believe that the clouds will stick around for the rest of the day and most of the day on Thursday as well. For Thursday, I believe we will have similar weather conditions to what we are seeing today. The winds should stay from the northwest, but they may pick up in speed slightly. This is due to the pressure gradient getting greater which is causing the wind speeds to rise. The temperature will stay around the same because there is no warm air being ushered in with the passing of this system.
