After some technical difficulties on Thursday, the blog is back for a Friday weather update! Today's temperatures are set at zero but constant winds from the west are keeping temperatures as cold as 16 below. Clear skies aren't helping to trap any heat so we can expect even lower temperatures by night. The weather map shows us stationary fronts to the north and west, with scattered precipitation out west with clustered systems of high and low pressure. There's a good chance these systems could come our way so I will predict tomorrow will be cloudy and warmer than today.

My prediction about lower temperatures today was indeed correct, although I'll admit that I did not predict the precipitation that we received today. The weather map shows that the majority of the country is under low pressure with exiting cold fronts on the east coast and a stationary front out west. This leads me to believe that tomorrow's conditions will be very similar to today's.

Although skies were cloudy and the temperatures were similar to yesterday's as I predicted, the wind chill made it seem much colder in the afternoon. Tomorrow we should expect even colder temperatures with another cold front moving in from the north followed by high pressure.

This weekend displayed some cloud cover and warm temperatures as I predicted. Today's temperatures hovered around the mid 20's and with clear skies it almost felt like summer for a while. A cold front is moving in to chill temperatures tonight, but tomorrow should return to cloudy skies and temperatures near 20.

Could have sworn it was summer

As I predicted, today's skies were scattered with clouds and temperatures hovered over zero and dropped dramatically with any gusts of wind. Tomorrow we should expect heavy cloud cover and temperatures to rise considerably with the low pressure system moving in from the northwest.

I was correct about today's forecast, this morning Eau Claire received about a half a foot of snow. It seemed to precipitate about an inch per hour up until noon. In the early afternoon the high pressure system pushed in to clear the skies and drop the temperatures for the rest of the night. Tomorrow we should expect more temperatures above zero with some cloud cover as well.

As I predicted, today is sunny and much warmer than yesterday's temperatures. It is still cold enough to send the windchill below zero, and the scattered wind gusts have been playing with the thermometer since this morning. There is an advancing low pressure system with a cold front from the north, so there is a good chance that we may see some snow in the near future.

It's not negative
Wear shorts everybody
But expect some snow
