Tuesday 4/15/14

Today's Conditions
Temperature: 24 degrees Fahrenheit
Dew point: 15 degrees Fahrenheit

Wind: 7mph NW
Cloud cover: Mostly cloudy
Pressure: 1021.1 mb


























As I predicted, cool temperatures and less cloudy skies occupy the atmosphere in Eau Claire. High pressure in the central regions of our country are causing for clear and dry conditions while the coasts tell a different story. Warm and moist tropical air masses are mixing with the strong cold front and low pressures to create an enormous band of severe weather down the east coast. Water vapor from the Atlantic is being funneled straight into the storm, fueling it with precipitation during the frontal lifting process. Small amounts of precipitation over Washington could find their way over northern Wisconsin, making a chance of rain in the near future not unreasonable. 


Today's Haiku
Cold front and moist air
Plus warm, moist air mass off coast
Fuels the perfect storm
