Weather 05/10/12

The weather today has been glorious sunshine all day. There has been really no clouds in the sky all day and there has been no sign of rain either. The temperature has been pretty hot all day at least 70's or maybe even low 80's.the wind has been variable all day too i would say on average the wind was blowing at around 5or 6mph form the NE. Across the rest of the USA there has been some rain on the west coast but nothing more severe and the East coast has seen some good weatehr with the clearing skies that the high pressure systems are bringing with them. 

weather 05/09/12

The weather for the penultimate day of weather blogging was rather boring. the clouds in the sky are thick and the sky has been 100% overcast almost all day. there was very little wind and there was no precipitation all day. The temperature was around high 40's. Across the rest of the USA there is a deep trough which is being pushed down by the continental polar airmass originating in Canada. there are mostly high pressure systems in the east of the country and lower pressuer in the west this shows how variable the weather can be in this country. for tomorrow i expect skies to clear up and for the sun to be shining most of the day. i hope this is the case because i have a cook out to attend! 

Weather 05/08/12

The weather today was very bright and warm all day temperatures must have been in the high 70's to 80's. There was no precipitation and the wind was blowing at around 5 or 6mph all day. There was some clouds rolling in towards the end of the day but they look like just passing clouds. I expect the weather to remain bright for the next couple of days and even stretch into the weekend

weather 05/07/12

The weather today was much like yesterday. The day started off clear and bright but by the end of the day there were overcast skies and thunderstorms with lightning and rain for the evening and night. The wind was moderately strong blowing East at 10mph. i predict more cloudy skies and the weather clearing up over the next few days.

Weather 05/06/12

Weather in Eau Claire was very overcast all day. the cloud cover was 100% and there were some rain events throughout the day.  There was minimal wind too today. overall a cloudy day where not much really happened. across the rest of the Usa there is some low pressure and this means strong winds and rain in texas where the is a large trough forming. most likely created by the continental polar air coming from Canada. More weather tomorrow!

Weather 05/05/12

The weather in Eau Claire has been very stormy for most of today conditions at the moment are very overcast although the storm has stopped and there is no precipitation at the moment. The temperature is not very hot around 50's. The  wind is not very strong also there is an Easterly wind blowing about 4mph. i expect snother storm tonight  but for the storms to subside and die out early next week.

Weather 05/04/12

The weather in Eau claire has started off sunny for the previous couple of days and as the day has progressed there have been thunder and lightning storms along with precipitation in the form of rain. The sky at the moment is becoming overcast and i expect some more storms over the course of the day. The wind at the moment is about 15 mph blowing east and there is a strong chance of the wind continuing because Eau Claire is experiencing the final days of a trough that has passed over us. i expect the weather to improve over the weekend and expect clearer skies in the next few days.

Weather 05/01/12

We started today with quite cloudy skies before the clouds largely cleared in the middle of the afternoon. Then clouds moved in again over the evening and there have been some flashes of lightning this evening. there has been no precipitation all day the temperature has remained in the mid 60'. There has been wind from the SE for most of the day strong and dropping off. average around 8mph. This amp shows the chance of severe weather tonight. Across the rest of the USA there is some high winds in Colorado and maybe a chance of some tornadoes in that area i expect a couple more thunderstorms in Eau Claire over the next couple of days. A very interesting day today and im looking forward to watching the situations develop over the next couple of days. 

Weather 04/30/12

The weather today was another fairly grey day with clouds domination the skyline for much of the day. The cloud cover was about 8/10 so I would say it was overcast for most of today. There was no precipitation and the wind was still pretty light blowing south at 5mph. The barrometric pressure is high and steady which is a pretty clear indication that the weather is going to remain cloudy for a while. weather models also show a stable atmosphere at the moment so there is not much chance of thunderstorms either.

Weather 04/30/12

The weather in Eau Claire has been overcast today there has been some precipitation in the form of rain and the temperature has been in the 50's all day. There is a NE wind that is very light only around 4mph. There is also a high pressure system just south of Eau Claire at the moment and as i forcast i expect winds to pick and skies to be a little clearer.

Weather 04/26/12

Today we had a cloudy start to the day with fractured cumulo stratus clouds in the sky but later on in the day the weather cleared up and there was no clouds in the sky. The wind was light blowing for the Ne at 4 mph and there was no precipitation the temperature was fairly the rest of the USA maybe peaking in the low 50's. across t a there is a large cold front which means cooler temperatures possibly caused by cold air pushing down from the continental polar air mass. Apart from that i expect more clear skies tomorrow and some higher temperatures.

Weather 04/25/12

Today was a very grey day in Eau Claire the sun did not really ever come out and the sky was overcast for the whole day 100% cloud cover. There was some rain precipitation early in the day however the rain dried out later as that was the only rain of the day. The wind is blowing NE at around 8mph and the temperature is in the low 50's as it has been all day.  There was no thunderstorm as predicted but we may still see some tonight into tomorrow. overall another standard day in Eau Claire. More tomorrow!

Weather 04/24/12

The weather today in Eau Claire was very nice today bright and sunny with only around 20% cloud cover. The temperature has been in the 60's.  The wind was blowing a little harder than yesterday at around 10mph and the cloud cover thickened up towards the end of the day. The clouds looked moisture based as they were made up of water due to their hard edges that I could see. There was no precipitation today but I expect some storms tomorrow because of the wind direction and the cloud cover I expect some lightning tomorrow for sure. Not much happening across the rest of the United States overall a pretty standard day of weather.

Weather 04/23/12

The weather today was a really clear day with only 20% cloud cover. the temperature was around 40 degrees all day and there was a slight northerly wind blowing at around 5mph. For tomorrow i expect more of the same weater. There was no precipitation although i do expect the wind to pick up a little. Over Illinois there is a high pressure system so i expect high winds in Illinois tomorrrow.

Weather 04/19/12

The weather today in Eau Claire was very grey today. There was 100% cloud cover and the clouds looked like altostratus clouds. There has been pretty steady precipitation from around 2pm onwards. it has been rain precipitation all day. The temperature has been slightly colder temperatures have been in the low 40's and the outlook looks similar for the weekend but it will most likely be a dryer weekend. The forecast for the country is the low pressure system is moving east so some showers as it dumps its moisture but not much else happening over the weekend.

Weather 04/16/12

the weather in Eau Claire today was overcast with 100% cloud cover and very windy all day. the wind was blowing in lots of directions and at around 20mph all day.  the temperature is cooler than the previous couple of days but that is mainly due to the wind chill rather that an actual drop in temperature on the ground. The most interesting weather right now is in the midwest region. The continental polar region is blowing in influencing the weather in the region and we are experiencing a trough right now which means the weather is going to get cooler

Weather 04/15/12

The weather today in Eau Claire has been very variable in nature today. There has been lots of precipitation in the form of rain which hit late in the day today. There was blustery conditions with the wind blowing SW at around 15mph. There was also around 4/10 cloud cover today. The temperature on this humid day remained in the 50's for most of the day, however I expect that there will be cooler weather tomorrow as the low pressure system has passed over us and there should be clearer skies tomorrow. I don't expect much precipitation but some snow may fall. overall i expect a cool but calm day in Eau Claire with some high winds at times.

Weather 04/14/12

The weather today was glorious sunshine all day the temperature was in the high 70's for most of the day and there was no precipitation and no cloud cover. There was a brisk wind coming in from the SE at around 10mph and that is really about the whole story in Eau Claire. Weather maps are showing that we can expect some rai over the next day because there are clouds moving that way. There is a large low pressure system that might hit us in the next 24 hours. Across the rest of the USA there is not much interesting weather around.

Weather 04/13/12

The weather today was pretty humid and warm despite the grey  overcast sky all day. The wind was blowing pretty hard all day and was south at 17mph. this made the weather feel much colder. the temperature was about 50's all day. The cloud cover looked like altostratus clouds and they looked like water clouds mostly, Because of this i expect some rain in the coming hours of today. there also looks like there may be a low pressure system which makes me expect a couple of days of rain. Across the rest USA there looks like there will be some rain in the central belt and further west but mostly uninteresting weather this weekend!

Weather04/12/12

Today was a really hot day in Eau Claire. The temperature was well into the 60's and there was no cloud cover. There was also no wind today. Overall a beautiful day and very like the weather we are are having regularly in EC. For the rest if the USA there looks a rain belt travelling over the central north of the united sattes. There is also an occluded front and this means that the weather will be variable over the weekend when it is set to get here.

Weather 10/04/12

The weather today was for the most part pretty pleasant. there was around 50% cloud cover the sky was pretty bright and sunny but air was pretty chilly for most of the day. The temperature was in the 40's all day and there is a good chance that we will get some frost tonight. The wind was varied quite a bit today blowing around 10 mph NW from the looks of the Usa map we are in the middle of a fairly large trough at the moment i believe this will pass in the next couple of days and we should be in for a warmer weekend.

Tomorrow im 21 Awsome!!

Weather 08/04/12

The weather today was very mixed. There was lots of sun and clouds too. There was around 50% cloud cover. The clouds were cumulo nimbus clouds with vertical development and there was rain during the day. There was some westerly winds, slight at 6 mph that means there could be storms in the near future. The temperature was around 60 degrees F and i expect some more of the same weather tomorrow. i expect more precipitation and some more cloud cover and the clouds to be mostly made up of water. I can tell this by the hard outline of the clouds and i expect those clouds to be in the Eau Claire sky tomorrow.

Happy Easter!

Weather 04/05/12

The weather today was really bright and sunny all day there were o% cloud cover and it was a really warm day overall. There was zero precipitation as there was no clouds but those clear skies today mean we are in for a cold night as there is no blanket to keep in heat. There is a slight wind 5mph blowing N. I expect a cool start to the day tomorrow and the sun should be out because i predict more clear skies over the easter weekend!

weather 04/03/12

Today the weather was more mild and slightly lower temperature with the large thunder and lightning storm that hit Eau Claire last night. There was heavy rainfall last night but no precipitation there was no wind today so I expect the altostratus clouds to sit over us and keep the skies 10/10 overcast. I expect tomorrow to ba a cloudy day with temperatures in the 50's and for it to rain at some point before these clouds leave us.

Weather 04/02/12

The Weather today was an extremely pleasant day. The sun was shining and temperatures were well into the 60's and there was only around 50% cloud cover however there is something menacing on the horizon. The wind is blowing SE at around 8mph and that means that clouds are going to build up and there is the possibility of a thunder and lightning storm landing sometime tonight. There has been no precipitation but I highly expect some rainfall later on tonight. And continuing into tomorrow.

Weather 04/01/12

The weather today was mostly overcast with cumulo clouds covering about 50% of the sky the cover was mixed. The temperature was pretty stable at around 70 degrees F. there was no precipitation and i dont expect any as I don't expect any clouds to move in overnight. There was a slight wind of about 3-5mph blowing east which confirms that the weather should clear up i expect a cooler start to the day but warm weather and clear skies for tomorrow.

03/31/12

The weather today has been overcast all day 100% cloud cover. A really boring day of weather temperatures around 50 degrees. Then there was no precipitation today as well there was not a strong wind as it was blowing west at about 5mph. Tomorrow I expect conditions to clear up and for the temperatures to be in the 70's as well.

03/30/12

First post after spring break. The weather has been mostly glorious sun and only partially cloudy i would say only 2/10 cloudy. however as day has turned into night there has been some rain precipitation as well as some thunder and some lightning possibly heat lightning. The temperature has been in the 70's all day the night seems cloudy so the heat will be kept in by that blanket overnight, I expect a warm humid day tomorrow and possibly some more showers as this weather system passes over Eau Claire.

Weather 03/16/12

The weather in Eau Claire was much like the previous couple of days. the skies were clear and sunny with high temperatures. This clear weather is causing all the heat of the day to escape at night which is leading to cool nights and early mornings before the sun begins to shine again. There was no precipitation today but there were some puffy cumulus clouds in the sky there was about 3/10 cloud cover and this is scattered cloud cover. The wind is blowing N/E at 5mph and there looks like there may be a few more clouds tomorrow.  I expect the temperatures to be warm again so i expect the clouds to be evaporated and to have another warm day before everyone heads off for Spring Break !

Weather 03/14/12

The weather again today was beautiful. the sun was shining in a clear sky and the temperature even broke 70 degrees. There was a slight wind from the west but it could not have been more than 2mph there was no precipitation as the sun was hot and evaporation took place. overall a great day and more of the same to come in the coming days!

Weather 03/13/12

The weather in Eau Claire today was a really beautiful day with temperatures in the high 60's the sun was out and there were very few cirrus clouds in the sky. overall i would not even say the cloud cover was 1/10. There was a very light breeze blowing east at 4 mph which is slow. The day was hot and unnaturally warm for this early in the year. Hopefully we will not get another frost and we can transition into spring with this weather continuing. It is forecast that the weather will remain constant for the rest of the week before spring break! The map shows how clear the Midwest region is at the moment which spells good weather in Eau Claire.

Weather 03/12/12

My prediction of rain came true it rained last night and into this morning.there was 10/10 cloud cover today which means it is overcast. there was what looked like cumulo clouds with some vertical development so there is more rain on the way I suspect. The wind was once again pretty slow only 8mph from the East but that tells me we might be in for some storms tomorrow or Wednesday. There was no precipitation during daylight hours today but i expect the temperature to be around the 50 degree mark for the rest of the week. Tomorrow I can see more cloudy skies and some rain potentially a storm. make sure you wear a waterproof.

Weather 03/11/12

The weather today was another beautiful day in Eau Claire. The sun was high in the sky and the temperature was well into the 50s and in the low 60s.  there were no clouds in the sky at the start of the day but the sky became overcast towards the end of the day. the wind is blowing from the SE at around 8mph and this spells more clouds tomorrow and some rain in he next 20-30 hours. My forecast is that there will be more cloudy tomorrow and they may be some rain tomorrow at night or towards the end of the day. I think the temperatures should stay fairly constant at high 50s and 60s being driven by the tropical maritime airmass at the moment. The low pressure system on the map backs up my prediction of rain in the coming days!

Weather 03/09/12

The weather today was a really beautiful sunny day with temperatures reaching the mid 40's. there was 0/10 clouds in the sky and the wind was SE at around 12mph so i suspect we should get some cumulo clouds tomorrow but don't expect any precipitation. There was no precipitation today either so we are still experiencing a pretty dry winter at the moment. The forecast for tomorrow is some clouds some precipitation and generally grey with maybe temperature cooling a little and staying around the mid 30's.

Weather 03/08/12

The wether today was pretty mild temperature but the wind had picked up significantly today and was blowing NW at around 30mph that is the highest velocity seen for a while. The sky was 10/10 covered by clouds today and this means that it was overcast. There was no rainfall but still waiting for some from the overcast skies we have had over the past couple of days. The clouds do not promise much however as the wind direction and the fact they are stratus clouds tells me not to expect much. I expect more clouds tomorrow and for it to be dry not overly exciting as seems to be the norm at the moment.

Weather 03/07/12

Eau Claire had a pretty modest day in terms of weather. The rain i was expecting did not fall and that cloud system that developed yesterday stayed around so there is the chance of some precipitation tomorrow. The day was pretty overcast with around 10/10 cloud cover. There was not much wind atall but there was a slight breeze blowing westerly winds into the Eau Claire at about 5mph. The clouds looked mostly stratus so i still expect a little precipitation tomorrow as the clouds promised today. I expect the clouds to clear out a bit tomorrow after some early precipitation and i expect another mild march day with around low 40's temperature much like today!

Weather 03/06/12

The weather today was very interesting as there was much happening that would have often passed me by but today this was not the case. The day started off with the sun splitting the sky. There were halos around the sun and there were cirus and culmulo clouds in the sky. the wind was blowing East at about 10 mph and there was cloud cover of about 2/10 which shows that clouds were scattered across the skies. This easterly wind is telling us to expect rain in the next 30 hours and that seemed to be the case as the cloud cover thickened to 10/10 and was really overcast by the end of the day. i expect this trend to continue and we should expect some precipitation tomorrow although there was none today.

Weather 03/05/12

The weather back in eau claire started out pretty bright and got more cloudy as the day moved on. i would say there was about 50 % cloud cover throught the day. the clouds looked like stratus clouds with not much moisture and possibly due to the clouds being largely affected by the continental polar winds blowing in from southern Canada. There was a brief period of snowfall at around 3pm however accumulation i don't think even came to an inch. There is slightly higher winds today around 10 mph blowing from the SE. The temperature is around 30degrees Fhowever with the wind it feels slightly colder than that. By the looks of this weather map i forcast that temperatures may riseover the next few days and i predict more presipitation as the warm and colder air mix. Possibly some snow.

Weather 03/04/12

The weather in Madison today was largely the same as yesterday there seems to have been no snow during the night however there was some precipitation that started falling at around 3pm. The clouds were nimbus clouds and this expains the precipitation. there was little wind around 3mph from the NW. There Sky was very overcast with 100% cloud cover. I will be back in Eau Claire for tomorrows weather report so normal service shall be resumed.

Weather 03/03/12

The weather in Madison today was a very overcast day with 100%cloud cover. The clouds look mostly cumulo nimbus and my theory is supported because there was precipitation in the form of snow yesterday.            There has been no precipitation today but i expect some overnight possibly. there has been a slight breeze blowing about 5mph from the north. So i believe this storm system will stay over madison for the next couple of days. My forecast for tomorrow is that thee will be some more snow and the temp will remain fairly constant at 26 degrees F.  

Weather 02/02/12

The weather today in Eau Claire Wisconsin is 100% overcast and the clouds look primarily stratus based. there is no precipitation at the moment but there should be some expected over the weekend as the storm system continues to move over the area. There is a breese i would say about 8mph from the NW and i think this will pick up as the day progresses. Judging by this weather map we may miss the storm over the weekend and it may hit Madison which is just my luck as i am staying there this weekend. However Michigan East looks like they will get some light snow as southern Wisconsin looks to get a heavier coating.So for the weekend hopefully Madison will have some interesting weather look out for my posts from there!

Weather 29/02/11

The weather today was overcast with 100% cloud cover and there was some light precipitation in the form of rain the clouds looked like stratus clouds and there was no fog. there was very light wind blowing from the SW and at about 5mph. there is still many storm clouds threatening to dump some more snow on us later on this week. I expect the polar continental and maritime tropical wind systems to keep mixing over the next couple of days and i expect more precipitation and the temperature to remain fairly constant at about 22 degreed F

Weather 28/02/12

Today was an overcast day with alto stratus clouds covering the sky with 100% cloud cover. There has been a bit of precipitation today in the form of snow and freezing rain. this is caused by the winds pushing the storm system into the area and the continental polar and maritime tropical airmass is mixing to create these snowy conditions The temp has stayed fairly constant at around 20 degrees F and there is more of these conditioned for the next couple of days. The visibility on the ground is good too, there is no fog. I expect some more snow tomorrow and Thursday and snow letting up on Friday.

Weather 27/02/12

The weather today was mostly sunny with puffy nimbus clouds in the sky. there was some menacing clouds which moved in during the afternoon. We are yet to get any precipitation but i expect at least 1 inch of snow tomorrow as High pressure systems move away from the area.there is a light wind about 4mph from the SW. the temperature is colder in the low 20s and there is no sings of temperature with skies letting heat out. Look out for precipitation and low temperatures tomorrow and a high chances of snow.

Weather 26/02/12

The weather today is very dull and grey overall. There is 100% cloud cover and the wind is a strong 22 mph from the west. there is no precipitation at the moment and the clouds look like they are largely made up of water vapour so I expect some rain in the coming hours. the temperature is pretty high at the moment in the  upper 30s but the wind makes it feel colder than that. for tomorrow i expect some sunny spells but mostly stratus clouds as the moisture looks like it is going away from Eau Claire at the moment, as demonstrated by this map.  

Weather 25/02/12

The weather today was mostly clear skies we had about 20 % cloud cover and no precipitation. The temperatures fell into the lower 20 degrees F. There was a lighter breeze today of about 5mph blowing from the SW. My prediction for tomorrow is that there will be similar weather.  Maybe a slight futrther drop in temps and there will possible be higher winds but most likely a dry cold Sunday.

Weather 24/02/12

The weather today has been overcast with some clearer skies where the sun has been shining. The temperature has dropped a little and the wind has picked up and is blowing harder than recet conditions would suggest. The wind is about 18 mph and coming in from the west side. the temperature is in the high 20s and sets to stay similar over the weekends. The clouds look like they contain lots of water and ice crystals so i expect some precipitation over the weekend possibly some snowfalling and a drop in temperature too.

Weather 23/02/12

The weather today is warmer at around 39 degrees F the snow is melting away.there is a fairly light breeze from the north at about 7 mph. The skies are mostly cloudy around 80% cover and there is no precipitation. the clouds look like cold air stratus clouds with ice crystals so i think there will not be any precipitation today. i also think the weekend will be mostly similar conditions so should be dry at least!

Weather 22/02/12

Today was a nice enough day in Eau Claire today. Ths weather map shows a fairly boring conditions in EC Fairly bright skies with around 50% cloud cover. temps around the mid 30s means the snowfall from the other day has melted away.the wind is not as strong as yesterday blowing west at about 6mph. for tomorrow i predict a day much like today. the clouds don't look like they will drop any precipitation and it is dry at the moment so i think conditions will stay fairly regular like today!

Weather 21/02/12

Today the weather was pretty overcast with 100% cloud cover. they look like nimbus clouds so I expect another snow shower in the near future. The wind also picked up today coming from the west at about 14mph there was no precipitation at the moment but I do expect some overnight or into tomorrow.  

Weather 20/02/12

The weather today was clear skies this morning but overcast clouds moved in over the afternoon. \the temp was stable around the 30 degrees F mark and there was no precipitation so far today but i do expect some very soon. there was not much wing Southerly at about 5mph. My forecast is a rough week of unpredictable weather and some large precipitation storm events.

Weather 19/02/12

Today was a nice day in Eau Claire. the sun was shining and it was a beautiful sky with no cloud cover. there was no precipitation and there appears to be none on the horizon. The wind was not very strong today blowing around 5mph from the south. Again i expect more similar weather in the upcoming week with clear and cloudy skies intermittent. Should be a fairly dry week with temperatures staying like they are currently. Around 30 degrees F.  

Weather 18/02/12

The weather today is very bright skies and there is about a 10%  cloud cover the temp is about 30 degrees F and there is almost no wind. There are a few breaths coming from the West. There is no precipitation again today and there looks like the rest of today will look pretty dry all round. tomorrow i expect more of the same maybe a bit more wind but that is because of the high pressure system that is about to hit! r

Weather 17/02/12

Today was another fairly dull day of weather in Eau Claire there is about 70% cloud cover of cumulus clouds in the sky i would say there is not much chance of precipitation and there has been none so far today the temp has been mild about 30 degrees all day and for the next couple of days i expect more of the same. the sky is overcast and i expect similar conditions over the weekend!

16/02/12

Today was another boring weather day in Eau Claire. About 60% cloud cover, no precipitation and temperatures not exceeding 30 degrees F. There was slight winds from the south blowing at 5mph so another typical day here. Tomorrow is looking fairly similar. Another Beautiful day here!

Weather 15/02/12

The weather today was a little brighter than yesterday. the sky has around 80% cloud cover and is very overcast. There is no precipitation at the moment although there is a good chance of some later on today. There is a very light wind around 3-4 mph blowing form the west. I think there will be more wind tomorrow and a higher chance of precipitation.

Weather 02/14/12

The weather for the most romantic day of the year was pretty poor. it stayed dry all day with temperatures in the high 20's and a light breeze from the south at 7-10mph. The skies were overcast with 100% cloud cover. there is some chance of some rain or snow tonight and my forecast is overcast skies tomorrow with some mixed precipitation. This low pressure system also might cause the wind to pick up also so expect cooler temperatures tomorrow as that system moves over Eau Claire.

Weather 13/02/2012

yaaaaaaaaaaa Snow! Finally have some precipitation to write about in this blog. There is snow falling and it has been falling for a while it shows no signs of stopping and i think it will continue overnight. The sky conditions today were very overcast and there was little wind blowing SE at 5mph. i forecast more snow and a big accumulation over the next couple of days.

Weather 12/02/12

Today is another bright clear sky day in Eau Claire the sun is shining brightly and there is 0% cloud cover much like we had yesterday. There has been no precipitation although today is cold and the wind has also picked up the temp is around 25 degrees and the wind is blowing from the SW at around 12-15mph. For the next fewdays i predict a slight pick up in temperature and possibly some clouds moving in but overall the weather should stay pretty similar to current conditions.

Weather 11/02/12

The weather today is clear skies the sun is shining brightly. there is no cloud cover. The temperature is around 20 degrees F and there is wind of around 5-10 mph. There has been some precipitation in the past couple of days, however there is no precipitation at the moment. My forecast for tomorrow is that there will be clear skies and no clouds again. 

Weather 10/02/12

The weather today in Eau Claire is bright sunny skies with only about 10% cloud cover there is no precipitation and i can not see any coming due to the cumulus clouds in the sky looks like they don't have much moisture. The wind speed is about 12 mph from the north the temp is around 23degrees. I see more bright skies over the weekend and then an overcast start to next week. the map above is a follow up to yesterdays map about the large cold front moving across America at the moment. The continental polar air mass is pushing this cold front further south and this surface map illustrates this very well I feel.

 The second map is one of showing water Vapour in the air there is a large collection of water vapour around the Great Lakes area and there is a high risk of precipitation as we move across that region of the country forecasts are predicting a snowfall to hit this area and i agree with that as there looks like a large accumulation ready to dump its lake effect smow over the area.

 This third image shows the wind speed this week in eau Claire there is lots of fluctuation suggesting that the weather has been unpredictable this week. This has been the case as there have been clear days and cloudy days too. there is a near by low pressure system so this may have been contributing to the weather pattern but the wind speed certainly tells the story of varying weather this week in Eau Claire.
This table shows the temp in eau Claire this week also there has been much fluctuation like the wind speed map and i feel this is for similar reasons although there is a cold temperature jet stream that has been moving across the northern part of the country which would explain the lower temperatures we have been having this week. the table shows that temperatures are on the rise again so hopefully that holds true and we get a good weekend for weather.

The map above shows the accumulation that i was discussing with the vapour map in this post. the purple colour indicates snow and ice that will be falling if over most of Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and in very South Easterly Wisconsin. this will be a breaking story over the weekend how hard this region gets hit in what has been a very unusual winter in the Midwest so far.

Weather 09/02/2012

I was wrong with my prediction that the weather was going to get warmer. As the temperature dropped today with highs of mid 20's this is due to a cold front jet steam driven by the polar continental air mas. There is about 80% cloud cover at the moment i would say the cloud formation is made up of Stratocumulus undulatus clouds. there is no precipitation right now and i expect there to be no more for the next few days. The wind is blowing west at around 12mph.  You can see the cold front on my weather map.

Weather 02/02/12

Todays weather is colder that we have been used to lately. the temp is around 20 degrees Farenheight. the wind is coming in from the north west at around 8-10 mph. Despite the cold temperatures the sun has been shining all day and there is 0% cloud cover.  Looking ahead there is a shift in wind tonight bringing some warm air to the state so hopefully this unseasonable weather will continue for a few more weeks! At least fro the coming days.

Weather 07/02/12

The weather today started off really bright with the sun shining however as the day has gone on more clouds have moved into the Eau Claire area. I would estimate that there is about 70 % cloud cover at the moment. the wind is blowing from the SW and not a very blustery day at around 6mph which is pretty pleasant. i predict for tomorrow that there should be a little more cloud in the sky as there is a high pressure system over Minnesota.

Weather 06/02/12

Another beautiful day of winter in Eau Claire the sky is bright and there is no cloud cover and there has been no precipitation all day. There is a slight wind blowing from the SE at about 4mph. The weather should continue for the next couple of days possibly with more clouds moving into the area. the temp should also pick up in the coming days if cloud cover stays away.

Weather 05/02/12

Today is much more cloudy than yesterday there is currently no precipitation however there is around 80% cloud cover so there is a chance as the clouds look like they are cumulus nimbus clouds. So there is a chance of some later on today! The wind is blowing from the west at about 10 or 12 mph. the temp is around the mid 20's. Overall a great day to stay in and watch the superbowl! I expect more of this weather to continue for the next week with overcast skies and similar low temps.

Weather 04/02/12

Today was a beautiful day with the sun shining in the sky most of the day. Again there was no precipitation and there was only about 10% cloud cover. The wind was fairly brisk all day blowing from the west at around 10 or 12 mph. I would estimate that there should be more of the same tomorrow in Eau Claire for Superbowl Sunday! I was correct thinking that the temperature would reach the 40's hoping for more tomorrow!
 Lets Go Giants!!!

Weather 02/03/12

Today the weather is much like yeaterday, there is about 90% cloud cover with a good chance of precipitation over the next few hours. Where there is gaps in the clouds the sun can be spotted and that makes the conditions fairly bright. there is a stronger wind about 7or 8mph blowing from the east. Again there is no precipitation at the moment however we can expect some later or possibly overnight. my prediction for the weekend is that it may be a little brighter and temperature may reach the 40s, whereas it is mid 30s at the moment. 

Weather 02/02/12

There appears to have been some more precipitation overnight again as the roads are wet and there is lots of moisture in the air. The warm air mass has caused there to be lots of evaporation, this had led to lots of cloud cover  as there is 100%. There is currently no precipitation  although I expect some rain later on today. I expect the weather to continue for a couple more days possibly into next week. The wind is blowing from the north at no more than 1mph. The sky is rather grey and gloomy with cumulus nimbus clouds. overall a pretty grey skied day!

Weather 02/01/12

It appears that i was right in my prediction of some precipitation yesterday night. I can tell as the road colour is darker than it would be if it was dry indicating moisture. There is no precipitation falling at the moment although the 100% cloud cover is threatening some in the near future. The wind is very slight as it has been all week, blowing from the south at 2 or 3 mph. The sky conditions are very gloomy. I expect more of the same tomorrow again possibly clearer skies as the system moves through Eau Claire.

01/31/12

The sy again today is bright with around 30% cloud cover. The clouds were stratus clubs The wind is blowing at around 8 mph from the west. There is no precipitation however there is a chance of rain later on tonight. Tomorrow i expect more of the same however a slightly higher chance of rain as there looks to be a pressure system forming.

Weather 01/30/12

Weather Day 1
It is very bright with the sun shining in the sky. No precipitation although there is some grey clouds in the sky which could indicate some precipitation later in the day. I would say about 40% cloud cover. The wind is blowing from the SE i would say between 5 and 10 mph. I expect similar conditions tomorrow.
