so much for that huge winter weather?
right now the temperature is hanging right around 40 degrees with some gusting wind at about 20 mph. The sky is overcast. As of now we are no longer in a weather warning but a weather alert. Looking at the surface map it seems taht the weather system is hitting regions to our south and we are catching the top parts which is mainly going to be light snow/rain mix. As happy as I am that we are not getting 6-10 inches, I am kind of sad that I won't be needing my 4 wheel drive one last time.

colorado low!
Today is quite a bit nicer than it has been for the past few days... however the warmer weather will be short lived. OF COURSE there will be a huge dumping of snow in our area this week! I mean its only the middle of April... not a big deal. The wind is from the Northeast which means there is a storm system on the way.
as can be seen on the map above there is a stationary front going through the middle of the states with a low pressure system into tonight and tomorrow morning we can expect that this low pressure system will be pushing the front to our area. Hope everyone didn't put their boots and shovels away yet!

winds from the East... Shits about to go down! Ha! All kidding aside strong winds from the East North East means that a weather system is approaching, along with our falling temperatures and full stratus cloud cover we can expect some weather within 15-20 hours.
This current surface weather map shows the jet stream dipping down into a trough bringing along some of that colder arctic air that we are feeling there is also a low pressure system to our south brewing up a weather system. we can expect precipitation as early as this evening and during the day tomorrow.. maybe it was a little to early to put away the warm clothes!!

Spring!
todays weather was one of the better days of the week! The wind has shifted from the NW to the SE which means that there will be some stormy weather and or precipitation in our future. The highs today were right around 56 degrees and will continue to stay around that range.
as can be seen by the surface map there is a low pressure from moving the bad weather to the northeast.

beautiful!
The weather has been quite nice the past couple days! As of right now there are clear skies with barely any wind and a temperature of about 32 degrees. Weather.com says that the wind is from SSW at 1 MPH. Since the wind is from this direction I can assume that there will be some type of weather system in our near future.
The current surface map shows that there is a smaller system to our south, I believe it will build and move into our area. there is also a stationary front in the middle of the country becuase of the mountain range.

Today's weather is gorgeous! Finally that spring weather is making its appearance! Currently in Eau Claire is a very comfortable 40 degrees with zero cloud coverage! The wind is out of the SW at about 8 mph which means we can expect to see some sort of system rollling through our area, however the warm weather should be staying around for awhile!
That southwest wind is pushing the low pressure system to the north and it looks like we will be having some precipitation tomorrow. RAIN! not snow :)

March 1st!
I've always heard that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb... doesn't seem to be the case today! Right now the temperature is right around 32 degree with winds from the SW around 13 mph. There is some cloud cover.. but I wouldn't say overcast by any means, a few stray cirrus clouds here and there.
with all of these high pressure systems around the country there are few areas that are having weather issues today! It does look like we have a small system moving in to our NW with the low pressure system bringing it down from Canada! Hopefully it doesn't get too cold this week!
