It is starting to feel a little more like summer than spring today in Eau Claire! We currently have a temperature near 70° F but it is still supposed to go up later in the afternoon. It feels very muggy outside and I believe that this is due to the higher dew point. The dew point has been on the rise for the last three days and is currently at 55° F. The clouds have been stratus all day long, and don't show any sign of breaking up at all. We are currently predicted to get severe storms later this evening. There is a low pressure system moving north with a stationary front extended to the south, and a warm front extended to the east from it. There is also a cold front moving in from the north. All of this combining will give our area an increased risk of severe thunderstorms throughout the evening.

I think it is safe to say that spring is finally here! Temperatures are in the mid 60's again today with a mild southeast wind. With this southeast wind, it seems as if there will be some precipitation in our near future. We have had periods of sunshine throughout the day, but currently it is more overcast. The clouds appear to be altostratus. There is a large low pressure system system with a warm front moving into our area from the south. This system will bring in warmer temperatures, but it will also bring a chance of rain with it. There is also a cold front moving into the area from the northwest. These two systems will collide sometime tomorrow afternoon which could produce some severe storms. Temperatures are predicted to be in the upper 70's tomorrow which may help to fuel those storms if they do end up forming later in the afternoon.

It is another great day to be outdoors here in Eau Claire and we should enjoy it while we can! We have temperatures in the mid 60's again today with sunny skies. There are a few clouds in the sky and they appear to be cirrostratus. We currently are seeing strong winds from the east, which typically means we are going to see some form of precipitation in the near future. This belief stands true since we have a great chance of rainfall tonight all the way through Thursday evening. This rain will be caused by the low pressure system and warm front moving in our direction. The low pressure system is predicted to be in eastern Nebraska by Wednesday afternoon, and that will then start impacting the weather conditions here in Eau Claire.

It has been a beautiful day here in Eau Claire! Currently we have temperatures in the lower 60's and a light south wind. The skies are mostly clear, but the clouds we have seen appear to be cirrus. The sunny skies and lower wind speeds are due to the large dome of high pressure that is currently sitting over most of the upper Midwest. With the south winds we are experiencing, it will help to bring warmer temperatures to the region as we move into Tuesday. It will also bring in more moist air which will help to fuel the storms that we are predicted to see Tuesday evening.

I can home for the weekend, so this weather briefing will be for Plainview, MN. Finally the sun came out today! The morning started off cloudy but now it is partly sunny with a few cumulus clouds in the sky. The winds are out of the south, which is helping to warm the temperatures. This weekend we should have decent weather conditions. The will be an upper level trough moving through the area tomorrow which will cause slightly windier conditions than what we are seeing today. The temperatures should be similar, with about the same amount of cloud cover. Sunday is looking to be a great day. After that trough moves through, there will be large high pressure system moving in behind it. This will bring us sunny skies with very mild wind conditions. It will be a great change compared to what we have seen this last week!

It is yet another cool and cloudy day here in Eau Claire! Temperatures are still in the mid 40's and it doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon. Our winds are still out of the northwest because that low pressure is passed us and slowly moving its way to the northeast. The center of the low pressure is currently over east central Wisconsin. The clouds that we are seeing appear to be stratus and I believe that is because they are still associated with that low pressure system that has passed. We have had spotty showers throughout the day so far and they will likely continue into Friday. For tomorrow, I believe that we may actually have some sunshine that gets through the clouds as a new air mass moves into the area from the northwest. It is an approaching cold front that will cause a slight chance for precipitation, but it will be nothing like we have seen the last week.
