Tuesday's Observation

Today's temperature is currently 77.7 deg F with a wind chill of 75.4 deg F. The dew point is 58.6 deg F creating a relative humidity of 52%. The barometer is at 1002.8 mb which is still very low. The wind is at 9mph from the east. The sky is about 50% covered with cirrostratus clouds. This map from the Weather Channel shows that indeed the low pressure system is still in the region. the low pressure system is beginning o form a comma shape meaning that it is a mid-latitude cyclone. However the occluded front indicates that the system is beginning to die out and lose strength.















I forecast that there is a chance of thunderstorms overnight and into the early morning however I also forecast that Eau Claire is going to be seeing more consistently warm temperatures throughout the rest of the month.
