Monday's Observations

Today started off with some snow flurries. This was very disappointing as I am sick of the snow and wish for warm sunny days with green grasses. Anyways the temperature is 32.2 deg F with a windchill of 32 deg F. The dew point is at 25 deg F therefore there is a relative humidity of 75%. There are currently calm winds blowing at 5 mph from the Northeast in Eau Claire, WI. The skies are completely overcast with nimbostartus clouds. This map of surface station data from Unisys Weather shows how there is a distinct change in the wind direction, speed, and precipitiation moring in a clockwise direction with its center in central Iowa. This indicates a a distinct Low pressure system.

This can be confirmed by the second map from the Weather Channel. This confirms the low pressure system moving through the midwest.
I forcast more snow to come within the next day and colder temperatures to accompany the precipitation.
