Today's Rant

Today is Super Bowl Sunday, an unofficial holiday where we sit inside and eat which is fine with me because it is back to the cold outside. We aren't seeing much wind which is helping a little bit, but the lack of cloud cover has us hovering just above zero degrees this morning. Yesterday I predicted that our amount of cloud cover would depend on the exact wind direction, and that turned out to be true. Although mostly calm, what gusts we are seeing are coming from a more Northerly direction. I also said the temperature would be about the same, and for my times of observation that may be true, but yesterday felt much warmer in the afternoon.

Forecast for Tomorrow

The wind forecast for tomorrow shows Eau Claire at a point where some Northwest and Southwest winds are kind of converging. The gusts are not supposed to be significant. To play it safe because everything will depend on the exact wind direction, I am going to call for a mix of sun and clouds and milder temperatures. If we get enough moisture from the South, MAYBE we could see snow.
