Sunday's Observation

So here is a weekend recap. Friday and Sunday were both nice with highs in the low 30s. Both days saw moderate winds around 5-10 mph and fairly clear skies.

Today the temperature is 22.4 def F with a wind chill of 16.2 deg F. The dew point is at 16.7 deg F creating a relative humidity of 72%. The barometer is at 1028.1 mb. The winds today are form the Northwest at around 10 mph. The skies are around 20% covered with a scattering of cirrostratus clouds This indicates that there is likely going to be precipitation in Eau Claire within 15-20 hours. This map from the Weather Channel confirms that there is in fact precipitation out to the west in Minnesota and Iowa. We are currently in the middle of a change from a high to low pressure system. I forecast that we will see some light snow going into the evening tonight; with temperatures in the low to mid 20s.
