After a few days of chilly temperatures it looks like the warm weather will return. A high pressure moved through the area and with it brought the sun and warmth. The cold front that dropped temperatures has moved out. The jet stream has shifted and put the Chippewa Valley into a ridge keeping the cold out. There is a lot of moisture out to the west and south and as that moisture moves so to could the potential for some rain. Winds should also shift to the south which would bring in even more moisture. Tomorrow watch out for some rain.

Doom and gloom in the area as there is major cloud cover. Temperatures are a little chilly as it is currently 52°F with winds coming from the southwest. There is a low front in the area that is with an occluded and close cold front has dropped temperatures. We are near a ridge in the jet stream that is also causing the cold temperatures. With this low and cold front there is a lot of dry air which will keep things drier for tonight. The system we are currently experiencing has create a lot of precipitation to our east. For tomorrow I expect a similar day as there are no systems that look to be moving through.

After a brief stint in Tampa, Florida I have returned to Wisconsin. The weather in Tampa was very routine for the area as it was in the 80s all week. There was a low front off of the eastern coast all weak that had the potential for precipitation. But, I digress. Here in beautiful Eau Claire temperatures are in stark contrast as winds from the north are keeping things cool and a cold front that moved through brought precipitation, and thunder and lightning. Temperatures should rise and winds could potentially shift to the south bringing warmth. For tomorrow I expect a warmer, sunnier day.

The nice weather has come for a while and has brought plenty of sun and warmth to the area. There is currently a high that is sitting on top of the state that has keep temperatures warm for now. This high has put us in a ridge shape for the jet stream so that is why the temperatures have been rather exceptional. There is a cold front out west but it should not cause any problems as warm air should stay for now. The wind is coming from the southeast which has the potential to create some storms in the area. I would look out for the possibility of a storm for tomorrow.

Another Glorious Day!

The weather begins to look more like spring and summer as temperatures continue to rise into the upper 60s and low 70s. The jet stream has become quite diminished and has dropped down to near the sub-tropical jet. There is a cold front to the west that should not cause much of a problem as it moves towards us. We are not seeing any disruption or changes in pressure or systems which will continue to bring warm temperatures. For tomorrow I expect another warm day as the shine continues to shine uninhibited.

Warming Up!

Dew Point: 13°F

Things begin to look like they should be turning around as temperatures begin to rise through the week. High pressure has crept into the area bringing warmer air. The jet stream has shifted moving us into more of a ridge that should continue the warming trend. There is a low out west that could bring with it some precipitation as moisture is continuously fed into any system that develops. For tomorrow I predict a very nice day with warmer temperatures but there is a chance of rain later with the low coming through.

Dew Point: 17°F

Periods of snow yesterday were seen but nothing to leave any accumulation. Today has been similar minus the precipitation as a cold front of dry air moved through keeping temperatures cool. Winds from the north should keep things a little colder for a while. The jet stream has started to drop which could bring a warm up for the near future. Warm air from out west should bring temperatures up for tomorrow and the weekend.
