Sunny and with an added chill!

This was a pretty nice day that saw the sun as well as a great deal of ice on the sidewalks and roads...this was because the City of Eau Claire wont plow unless 3 inches is on the ground.  As for private home owners are forced to shovel the sidewalks within 24 hrs of snowfall.  I did see that the wind was coming from the SW during the day and the temp was a bit warmer than currently, around 37 or higher I feel.

A review of my forecast from yesterday was that there was no storm today, in fact the high pressure area that we were in cleared the clouds and we did get some sun and that means some good ol' fashion fun in the sun!


The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 34 degrees F
Wind: 5 mph coming from the South
Real Feel: 33 degrees F
Dew point: 26 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: 100%
Precipitation: none

Here is a radical map of current wind from hint.fm

Here is a map provided by the weather channel.com
With the jet stream coming from the North and swooping down to Nevada area and then going over Eau Claire the temperature will be colder tomorrow and the low pressure area might bring a little snow tonight as well as early morning tomorrow.  During the day on the 14th the chances of snow are limited.

All Calm in EC....for now

With the high pressure system that moved in from the other day gave the weather a calm feeling.  A review from the forecast from the other day is next on the agenda.  The weather was a little warmer and I was partly correct in stating that no snow would occur and off because of the cloud cover and temperature were different than yesterday.

When I was walking outside I noticed a light wind blowing from the South with sunny skies.  I am glad the sun was shining, it always brightens the mood.  


The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 23 degrees F
Wind: 8 mph coming from the South
Real Feel: 19 degrees F
Dew point: 17 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: 35%
Precipitation: none

For my forecast tomorrow this graphic should help with the prediction from intellicast.com,

With large dense cloud South of Wisconsin, there is a chance of a storm later tomorrow, However, the high pressure area will most likely still be present in our area and that means less chance of a large storm, perhaps an inch or less snow.  The sun will also be visible with little cloud cover as a result of the high pressure area over us.

Slush puppies!

Today's walk to class was eventful!  Full of dodging large pools of slush while avoiding the slippery icy patches.  The wind I did notice was coming from the West as I walked to class with temperatures being mild.  Cloud cover was 100%.

A review of my previous forecast was pretty accurate.  The temperatures today were roughly the same as yesterday.


The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 27 degrees F
Wind: 18 mph coming from the West with gusts up to 27 mph
Real Feel: 10 degrees F
Dew point: 18 degrees F.
Cloud Cover: 100%
Precipitation: about 2 inches of snow was recieved.

Something I have always wondered about was the Dew point. 

 "Dew points indicate the amount moisture in the air. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature. Dew point temperature is defined as the temperature to which the air would have to cool (at constant pressure and constant water vapor content) in order to reach saturation " (http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/maps/sfcobs/dwp.rxml)

Here is today's current wind map from hint.fm,

My forecast for tomorrow will include similar weather as today with no snowfall because of the no snowfall west of us.   

Freezing rain!

A review of the forecast from yesterday is in order.  My prediction was was not too far off, the precipitation did come around 1030 AM.  The rain did come down and then freeze as soon as it hit the ground making the surface extremely slippery.

The current conditions as AccuWeather states, are:

Temperature: 30 degrees F
Wind: 13 mph East
Real Feel: 16 degrees F
Dew point: 27 degrees
Cloud Cover: 100%
Precipitation: Freezing rain!

When I was outside, for a brief time, the wind was blowing pretty strong from the east and the weather was wet and cold.  The ground was just getting slippery as I was walking to my truck.

Here is a great satellite image of what is going on outside from Weather.com,

My forecast for later today will be a few inches of snow and then tonight some colder temperatures and then tomorrow we will see some more snow most lilkely and similar temps as today.

Power out in New England...midwest ok

My forecast for today was pretty accurate.  There is no snow as of yet and the temperatures are 25 degrees F. and the real temperature feels like 13 degrees.  I was however wrong about the cloud cover, there is a dense layer of cloud cover.

The current conditions are a temperature of 25 degrees F. and the wind blowing from the south at a rate of 15 mph.


This map from Weather.com shows a low pressure system moving toward Eau Claire.  This could bring some precipitation and more mild temperatures.

  

Not too interesting!

Currently the weather is 10 degrees with the high being 26 degrees F.  and a low of 8 degrees F.  The humidity is 81%.  This was found at Weather channel.com

When I was outside for a brief while going to work the weather was not too bad, the wind was blowing a little bit.  I would guess that the wind was blowing from the South.

My forecast for tomorrow will be similar temperatures that we saw today.  With the map on the bottom of this post, I do not see any snow tomorrow just some clouds in the sky and sunny.

Boring day, nothing too exciting!

After the weather from the other day I am not surprised. However, my forecast was partially incorrect. The temperature stayed roughly the same with the current temperature being 26 degrees F.

AccuWeather states,

The temperature is 32 with a real feel of 24 degrees F.  The wind is blowing from the North at a rate of 8 mph.  The particiaption is at 35%.

When I went outside to walk home the weather was not too bad for a walk with a coat.  The wind seemed to blowing from the North, however, not too strong of winds.
