Summary of Semester
This semester has been extremely eventful for weather happenings. There were many different winter storms to hit our area over the months of January to even early May. These weather conditions were much more normal for our area than that have occurred in the previous year. One event that wasn't typical for our area was the snow storm we received in early May that brought us over 7 inches of snow. What made that storm so different was not only the timing of it, but the fact that it came only a few days after temperatures were in the 70s. Looking back I should have posted more often during the first part of the semester to gather data that would be more useful to this summary. Overall, the weather data I gathered showed typical winter conditions for winter and early spring, but we did receive some above average snow and precipitation numbers.

Current Conditions
Rain
Temperature: 47 degrees F
Dew Point: 45 degrees F
Wind Speed: 13 MPH
Wind Direction: NNE
Humidity: 93 %
Pressure: 29.99 in and stable
Today was overcast the entire day with blanket of low stratus clouds. There was also a steady light rain shower for most of the day with the showers intensifying later in the afternoon. The wind completely switched directions from yesterday and is now coming out of the northeast which is typical when there are storms approaching or upon our area. This cold front and precipitation should pass by later tonight and we should see slight warming going into the weekend. To our west there is a large pocket of low pressure and more precipitation forming, but I predict that the jet stream should carry that to our north and this rain will be the last that we will see for the weekend.

Wind Direction: Southwest
Humidity: 43%
Pressure: 30.01 in. and stable
Temperatures this morning remain very comfortable in the low 70's, but you can tell by the blanket of stratus clouds that have moved in that there will be a chance for rain later today and tonight. Earlier this morning we saw scattered cumulus clouds in the sky and in the last hour the overcast stratus clouds have moved in. There is a line of precipitation to our west that appears to be heading in our direction with winds coming out of the southwest. For later today I would expect temperatures to drop at least 10 degrees Fahrenheit and later this afternoon we should see some vertical development in clouds which should bring scattered rain showers with a chance of thunderstorms overnight. Air pressure should continue to drop as the day goes on as well. This storm if it does develop at all should pass within the next 24 hours though, but don't expect temperatures to return to the 70's until the weekend.

We couldn't have asked for much better weather today in Eau Claire. The skies were mostly blue for a great deal of the day with scattered cumulus clouds. There is very little moisture in the air and a soft breeze coming from the southwest creating an extremely comfortable conditions. The high pressure has diminished as the day has gone on and we should see a cold front accompanied by pockets of low pressure within the next day or so. This should bring some spotty precipitation for the next couple days and temperatures dropping into the 50s and 60s. A little bit of rain would be good to support the beginning of the growing season for most agriculture as long as the temperatures do not get too low during the overnight hours and creating frost, which could be devestating to yields this year.

After receiving over 7 inches of snow last Thursday and even more rain after that over the weekend, temperatures have warmed up again to normal for this time of year. Over the weekend I traveled to St. Louis, Missouri for a wedding and it seemed the cloudy and rainy weather followed me there. Over the weekend it rained for a majority of the time and temperatures were colder than even here in Eau Claire. Currently there is a stationary front over much of Wisconsin and a large pocket of high pressure. This should mean that the sunny warm conditions should remain for the next couple days at least. The area of high pressure is causing a divergence in the jet stream right over Minnesota. Areas of low pressure and a stationary front over the Rockies right now should form a line of precipitation that could reach us later in the week. For now we will enjoy the beautiful weather in our area.

Temperatures dropped drastically between yesterday and today! Yesterday we were nearing temperatures of 80 degrees F and today we did not even get above 50 degrees F. Today has been overcast all day with low stratus clouds blanketing the sky. We did not see any precipitation until late this afternoon and this precipitation should continue for the next day or so with the possibility of snow showers overnight. A winter storm in May is usually extremely rare, but with the long cold winter that we have had this year it could be expected almost. We are at about the northern most point of this storm which stretches all the way down into Kansas and Oklahoma. This cold front should move through in the next few days though and later this week we should see conditions return to around normal for this time of year.

Today was a beautiful day for the most part! Clear skies and a lot of sun for the majority of the day. The clear skies turned into scattered cumulus clouds with vertical development around 7 PM this evening. We saw some spotty showers throughout the evening and overnight we might see some scattered thunderstorms. There is also a couple strings of cold fronts over us and directly south of us which is bringing the precipitation because of the warm weather we saw the last few days. The front of precipitation stretches all the way to the Rockies where people in Colorado and Wyoming are seeing snow showers. Over the next day or two we should see lower temperatures with the chance of some snow showers coming on Thursday, but that should not stick on the ground. The rest of the week we should see precipitation on and off. Hopefully we should see the jet stream shift into an Omega High within the next week to bring more consistent warm temperatures and stable weather.

This morning began to look like we were going to be seeing rain all day long with overcast dark stratus clouds, but that cleared up in the mid afternoon. Currently there is scattered cloud cover. We are seeing some vertical development in the cumulus clouds though which means we will probably receive precipitation overnight and into tomorrow. The 500 mb map shows a leveling off in the upper atmosphere that shows a leveling off which means that if we do receive some inclement weather and lower temperatures it should be short lived. The area of low pressure over the Rockies should bring us some rain or even a little snow mix by later this week.

Temperatures are beginning to rise and we should see actual spring weather within the next couple of days. Most of today was clear skies with temperatures reaching into the low 50's. Currently we have seen more cumulus clouds roll into the skies with a great deal of verticle development. This should mean that we will be seeing some rain showers overnight and possibly into tomorrow morning. Currently we are seeing one cold front with areas of low pressure head through the Eau Claire area, but behind that is a very large pocket of high pressure that should bring some good weather in the next couple days. We are also currently seeing the jet stream finally level out allowing maritime tropical air to move towards us and hopefully finally raise temperatures to a normal level.

It was overcast for most of the day with stratus clouds. Currently there is scattered cumulus humilis clouds that should predict little precipitation within the next 24 hours. The cold front seems to have passed leaving areas of high pressure to our west. The trough in the jet stream continues to rise farther north, which hopefully means we will be seeing spring weather by the weekend. There is a possibility of precipitation again in the next couple days as an area of low and high pressure come together and head in our direction. For the rest of the night and most of tomorrow though conditions will be relatively the same with broken cumulus clouds, mild temperatures, and possibly even a little more sunlight tomorrow morning and afternoon.

Today was a strange day in weather happenings. It seemed like conditions were changing every couple minutes. It would snow for a few minutes and then the sun would come out for a few minutes. That process repeated throughout the day. The sky is filled with scattered stratus clouds that hide the sun and then let it shine every so often. Wind speeds were very high today reaching gusts of over 30 MPH. Currently it is well below the average temperature this year, hovering right around freezing. For tonight there may be a few more scattered snow flurries, but it could also stay dry with temperatures dipping down into the teens. Tomorrow we should see sun for the most part with temperatures not that much warmer. The jet stream simply seems to be getting worse so we might be looking at chilly temperatures for the next week.

For most of the day today the skies were completely overcast, but it did clear up this afternoon. The sun finally came out again. Blue skies mixed with some cumulus clouds currently are the conditions. The wind has shifted a little bit since this morning from west to north. That will continue throughout the night and tomorrow winds should be coming out of the east which should mean that clouds and rain will move in sometime in the afternoon. The jet stream trough is currently right in our direction, so until that changes sunny warm weather will be delayed. Instead we should see cloudy and rainy conditions for the next couple days. Hopefully spring comes sooner rather than later.

Today was the first completely dry day in quite a while and the sun even popped out for a little bit this morning and evening. Most of the day although was overcast with temperatures still well below normal for this time of year. Believe it or not we may still get one more snow storm before we finally hit spring. There is a huge pocket of low pressure stretching from north Texas all the way to Nevada that will most likely head in our direction in the next few days. Directly west of us there is a line of precipitation hitting parts of southeastern Wisconsin and Michigan. Tomorrow should actually be a nice day with temperatures in the high 40s and mostly sunny skies. That won't last long though if this snow storm developing over the Rockies heads in our direction.

Waking up this morning and seeing snow on the ground again definitely wasn't what I wanted to see. Winter storm Walda has finally moved in and it appears that the snow hasn't ended yet. A snow storm is forming again over the Dakotas and will probably reach us again by later tonight. There is also a major storm forming over Missouri right now that will bring severe thunderstorms to much of the lower Midwest and Southeast regions. Another storm is also going to be hitting the Northeast with thunderstorms and a possibility of snow in the farther north regions. Tomorrow should be about the same as today with a couple inches of snow accumulation and overcast skies. Hopefully this is the last snow storm of this long winter season.

There is already a winter storm warning that is going to take effect at 1 AM tomorrow morning and go through the entire day Wednesday and Thursday. We are directly between two stationary fronts and winter storm Walda has reached the southwestern corner of Minnesota and is heading in our direction. I do not predict that the storm will last all the way through Wednesday and Thursday, but we will see a decent amount of snowfall. The snow may not stick on the ground, but it will add to the already rising level of the Chippewa River.

Even though the temperatures feel warmer than normal we are sitting directly on a cold front currently. There is a low pressure system over Wyoming right now and that will head our way in the next couple days likely bringing with it some gloomy weather with low clouds and a good chance for precipitation. For most of the day tomorrow we should see temperatures in the mid to high 40s with clouds and precipitation possible later in the day.

Throughout the day there was scattered cloud coverage with most of it having dissipated by now. The storm that was over the Rockies yesterday has moved south and we will most likely not see any precipitation here within the next 24 hours. There is another storm forming over Colorado right now and that storm has the possibility to hit us later this week. Tomorrow should be much of the same in terms of very little cloud coverage, but now that the cold front has passed we can expect to see some warmer temperatures for tomorrow.

There is a gigantic cold front that is currently stretched out from Washington to Maine and dipping as far south as Texas and Georgia. We can expect temperatures to be on the cooler side for the next day or so, but it should remain clear and sunny. Behind the cold front is a large pocket of low pressure stretching north to south across the entire Rockies. If that moves in our direction we can expect some precipitation by later this week.

There has to be some sort of storm coming soon because Eau Claire can't have this many nice days in a row. Once again it was beautiful and mild in Eau Claire allowing for a good amount of snow to melt. Scattered cloud coverage around the area consisting mostly of cirrus clouds. We are currently sitting in an area of high pressure which means we should have good weather for the next 24 hours. The rest of the country is experiencing much of the same weather with a possible storm forming over Colorado and Wyoming that could head this way in the next couple days. Another not so spectacular day for weather happenings, but I'm sure most are starting to get spring fever and more of these days are welcomed.

We are currently sitting in an area of high pressure which means we should have good weather for the next 24 hours. The rest of the country is experiencing much of the same weather with a possible storm forming over Colorado and Wyoming that could head this way in the next couple days. Another not so spectacular day for weather happenings, but I'm sure most are starting to get spring fever and more of these days are welcomed.
