Ok so after I wrote about the Colorado Low on Tuesday my predictions came true. It started snowing around 4pm on Tuesday afternoon and continued to lightly snow through Wednesday morning. Although Eau Claire did not receive substantial amounts of snow accumulation on the ground the southwestern portion Wisconsin received over 6 inches of snow. To prove it my family received a picture form my cousin of her daughter (who's school had a snow day on Wednesday). The little girl made snow bunnies for Easter and put out a sign for the bunnies to say "Why now?"
Yesterday's skies began clear and eventually clouded over with stratus clouds. The temperature was moderate in the mid 40s. It began to sprinkle rain at around 6:30 pm.
Today the temperature is 40.5 deg F with a wind chill of 34.3 deg F. The dew point is at 39.4 deg F creating a relative humidity of 96%. That about of moisture in the air would explain the wet ground outside. The barometer is at 1006.0 mb. The wind is from the East at around 16 mph. The skies are 100% covered with nimbostratus clouds producing some scattered rain showers. This map form the Weather Channel shows a low pressure system and and occluded front moving across the Midwest. This indicates that the cold and wet weather that system that has been plaguing the Midwest this week is dying out and will lead to some drier days and hopefully a bit more sun as the high pressure system behind it moves into the Midwest.
