Well, Winter Storm Saturn has officially come and gone. The storm never got as significant as most people thought it would, but we did get somewhere around 6 inches on new snowfall after it was all said and done. High pressure systems throughout the middle of the country will move our way overnight and should provide us with some nice sunny weather with temperatures increasing into the lower 30's for the next few days. I think I speak for most people in our area right now when I say that Spring cannot get here fast enough.

Winter Storm Saturn has arrived. I awoke this morning to altostratus clouds that formed into stratus clouds. The presence of the stratus clouds accompanied by a decently strong ENE wind indicated that precipitation should be on it's way soon. Light snow started around 2 p.m. and has been on off since. The wind is now coming from an ESE direction which means that we should be in for some significant snowfall tonight with the snowfall being heavy at times. According to several sources, our area should get anywhere from 6-12 inches through tonight into tomorrow afternoon. 

The snow that is shown over Minnesota and our area is projected to track southwest to the Chicago area and then possibly head east and provide the Northeast with another significant winter storm. 

The Eau Claire area is right near the border of the 3-6" and 6-12" snowfall ranges. It will be interesting to see how accurate the forecasts have been. I will update the blog tomorrow with snowfall totals from Winter Storm Saturn.

This weekend's weather has been pretty decent. The sunny skies that an area of high pressure were very welcomed and the temperatures are slowly starting to warm their way to the point of average, middle to upper 30's for highs, for this time of year. Unfortunately, it looks as though we have not seen the last of winter yet. Winter Storm Saturn looks to be moving in from the Dakotas that will likely provide us with another snowfall starting late morning to early afternoon tomorrow and possibly sticking around into Tuesday. There is a Winter Storm Warning for Eau Claire, among other areas, starting 6 a.m. Monday and extending to 6 p.m. Tuesday. I will keep the blog updated with the progression of this storm over the next couple of days.

Today was a rather gloomy day. Cloudy conditions dominated the sky for the duration of the day, with temperatures that approached 30 degrees F. The jetstream map shows we are in an area that is a bit odd. The jetstream is forming a sort of ridge in our are, but with a spiraling pattern to the south near Milwaukee. Cloudy conditions will mostly likely stick with us throughout the day tomorrow with temperatures again near 30 F.

The weather conditions for today were mostly cloudy with the temperatures in the 30's. At around 2 p.m. I left work to find flurries coming down. The precipitation was short lived with no accumulation to speak of. There is not any real significant weather taking place around the country currently, just the remnants of the storm that ran south of us the last couple of days. Tomorrow's weather should be about the same as today, with a high near 30 and a chance of flurries.

Today's weather was darn near a carbon copy of yesterday's conditions. Mostly cloudy with a little bit of sunshine here and there with temperatures in the middle 30's. Tomorrow looks like it will probably follow suit  with cloudy conditions and temperatures in the mid 30's.



The jetstream looks a little bit odd compared to the usual. We have the jetstream coming from the northeast and circling up and around to end up flowing back to the east. The circle in northern Indiana is associated with the storm that has been moving trough the plains and is now over the northeast portion of the country form Chicago to the Atlantic Ocean shown in the map below.

Today's weather was similar to the weather we experienced throughout the weekend, mostly clouds with some sun and temperatures in the mid 30's. We did get a bit more sunshine over the weekend than we had today though. An area of high pressure, shown in the map below, will be in our area for the rest of the night and into tomorrow making for little to no chance of precipitation. There may however be some clouds due to winds from the north. Temperatures should be around what they were today with the high being in the upper 30's.
