to snow or not to snow!

Today was pretty cold walking to class but it has been colder.  My forecast for today was not too far off I was correct in the amount of snow will not be as significant as the amount predicted for Eau Claire.

When I was wondering outside...like I normally do on cold days...I felt the wind was coming from the West while crossing the bridge over the Chippewa river.


The current conditions from the AccuWeather, are:

Temperature: 15 degrees F
Wind: 6 mph coming from the North West
Real Feel: 7 degrees F
Dew point: 1.9 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: some cloud cover  and partly sunny
Precipitation: none yet
Barometric Pressure: 30.44 and decreasing

Here is the current wind conditions.  I know we were taught that the tropical wind coming from mexico  will bring in the storm closer to Eau Claire so we shall see if that has enough power to reach us with as much force as predicted.

So tonight there is a possible chance of snow later tonight or early tomorrow morning.  The weather today will not be that exciting.  simply put cold and some wind.

A wonderful day.. after a pot of coffee!

Another beautiful day and after I drank my coffee I wondered over to my class at 2.  The sky was almost all clear and sunny.  Just a few clouds here and there.  The wind seemed to be blowing from the west, however, the rate at which it was blowing was rather stagnant.


The current conditions from the AccuWeather, are:

Temperature: 17 degrees F
Wind: 7 mph coming from the North West
Real Feel: 15 degrees F
Dew point: 6 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: mostly clear and sunny
Precipitation: none
Barometric Pressure: 30.49 and decreasing

The forecast I posted yesterday was pretty accurate and the forecast for tomorrow could go to a bad with a strong chance of a storm the amount of moisture in the clouds that could float towards the Eau Claire area.

High and Sunny

My post from the other day was correct no snow in the high pressure area that we are currently in.  The weather was very cold and still is aka the bridge sucks the life right out of ya!

When walking on the bridge I felt the wind coming from the West blowing rather strong.


The current conditions from the UWEC metastation, are:

Temperature: 5 degrees F
Wind: 14 mph coming from the North West
Real Feel: -14 degrees F
Dew point: -8.9 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: mostly clear and sunny
Precipitation: none
Barometric Pressure: 30.01 and rising rapidly

With the current conditions the potential for a large storm is decreasing the wind could diverge the majority of the water vapor away from Eau Claire.  However, we shall see what the weather brings.

Tomorrow the high pressure area will still be over head and no snow fall.

When all things turn to ****

The change in the Barometric Pressure has happened and we did receive some snow despite the rather desolate weather that was occurred in the morning.  Between 2 and 3:15 the weather morphed into a bloody good snow fall.

When I was walking across the bridge to go home the wind seemed to be coming from the Westward direction at a moderate pace.


The current conditions from the UWEC metastation, are:

Temperature: 22 degrees F
Wind: 21 mph coming from the West
Real Feel: 11 degrees F
Dew point: 16 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: mostly cloudy
Precipitation: none
Barometric Pressure: 29.96 and rising rapidly

This map from the weather.com shows a mixing of the high and low areas and the stationary front is situated directly over us and the jet stream shows colder air coming from canada and the cloud cover does not seem as though a snow storm is coming.  As well as the high pressure area coming snow fall is less likely.

The post from the other day was correct. however it was very broad.  The amount of snow did not measure up to much.  The temperature was higher so the snow melted when it touched the ground.

Same ol' same ol'

Todays weather is very similar to what it has been.  My forecast was correct! whooooo!


The current conditions from UWEC, are:

Temperature: 15 degrees F
Wind: 5 mph coming from the South East
Real Feel: 10 degrees F
Dew point: 2.3 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: %
Precipitation: none
Barometric Pressure: 30.12 and falling slowly






Within the next 24 hours there is a possibility of snow with the lower pressure area coming toward Eau Claire.

Still Sunny in Philadelphia...

Today is still sunny and the barometric pressure is 30.19 and falling slowly.


The current conditions from UWEC, are:

Temperature: 17 degrees F
Wind: 2 mph coming from the North
Real Feel: 18 degrees F
Dew point: -.8 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: 35%
Precipitation: none

With the wind coming from the North the air temp will be cooler and crisper.  However, the wind is not blowing very fast.  After reviewing a wind map located directly below one will see that we are in a pocket of desolate air.

With the current stagnant fronts all around us not exciting whatsoever and the next few days will be similar if nothing changes to drastically.

And for the review of the last post I was off with the snow and low pressure system...bummer for being way off.

Time for da wettar!

So the weather today was not too bad with the sun shining and and low cloud cover during the day.  The forecast I posted the other was not far off!  The high pressure area was over us the entire day and still.

This is the current weather of the high and low pressure areas.

The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 11 degrees F
Wind: 8 mph coming from the West
Real Feel: 1 degrees F
Dew point: 0 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: 100%
Precipitation: none

With the current low pressure area moving towards us there is a possibility for a storm.

jetstream
 With the jet stream coming from the North more colder temperature are on the way.


 The clouds that are west of Eau Claire show some potential to have some snow either tonight or tomorrow.
