| This afternoon's surface map shows the small warm front that has warmed us up today, but brought measurable snow just to the north. That east coast cold front has moved off shore and things are finally dry there. Things to the west of the Mississippi River, however, are shaping up to bring plenty of precipitation to many areas in the next couple of days. |
Today's Rant
Eau Claire has finally gotten a break and missed a snow storm! Today we ended up on the warm side of a front that has been dropping snow just to our north which has actually resulted in some school closures. We are seeing a strong southern wind today which has gotten our temperature up a bit from the last couple of days, but it has also supplied the moisture for the nasty conditions to the north. Looking at the surface map you can see that we are sitting right on the edge of the warm front currently, but just enough to the south of the precipitation line that nothing has happened here. Looking at the rest of the country, the cold front out east has finally moved off shore and things a quiet in the northeast and southeast. Cold fronts are dominating the west, and the southwest is dry while the northeast is seeing some rain along the coast.
Forecast for Tomorrow
Tomorrow is looking like it could be rather messy in several parts of the country, but here at home a small area of high pressure promises to keep us clear and dry. Winds will be shifting to the northwest with a center of rotation near the U.P. of Michigan, but with the sun hopefully coming out temperature should not be affected too much. I expect highs in the 40's with some measurable wind gusts, mostly clear skies and no precipitation.
