Temps. Continue to Rise

Observation time: 10:25 am

Precipitation: None
Sky conditions: Overcast
Wind: Calm
Temperature: 31 degrees

A rare sight this winter, as a cold front sits directly above us today. This has brought cloud cover and mild temperatures along with it, but also a small chance for some freezing precipitation. 


Today's Rant

Today might finally be the day that we get back above the freezing mark in Eau Claire. Sustained winds from a mostly southern direction over the last few days, along with a low pressure system now in the area are making for much warmer temperatures than we have seen in a long time. The big factor today is the cloud cover. It is finally allowing what warmth we actually have to stay with us, instead of being lost into the upper atmosphere like it is on a clear day. But not everything about warm temperatures is a good thing. It brings the chance for some mixed/freezing precipitation, although we haven't seen any so far and there isn't much action on the radar.

Forecast for Tomorrow

Winds will be shifting to a more westerly direction tomorrow, but that shouldn't have too much effect on our weather. The skies should be clearer, but we should also still have some clouds hanging around. As long as the wind doesn't turn and bring us too much cold air from the north, I don't expect temperatures to change a whole lot tomorrow. It should be a fairly nice day overall.
