Current Conditions:
Temperature: 69° F
Wind Direction: S at 7 mph
Dew Point: 55° F
Barometric Pressure: 1005.6 mb

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.
