On my way to class this morning a little before 8 there was some snow falling, enough to make it quite difficult to see as the snow flew into my eyes while riding my bike. The snow didn't last long and there was no real accumulation to speak of. The rest of the day was mostly cloudy with the sun peaking out before sunset. Tomorrow will probably be partly cloudy with the area of precipitation shown over North Dakota on the map below making possibly making its way to our area toward the end of the day.

With an area of high pressure over Eau Claire all day we saw clear sunny skies. With the daylight savings time now in effect and the sunny conditions the day seemed to last longer than normal. It made it feel as though Spring is almost here. But then I looked at the 18 inches of snow on the ground and the forecast that calls for more snow over the next few days and I realized that Spring is still a ways out... The current conditions map below shows some precipitation to our west that could hit us around sunrise.

The lower image of the two is a water vapor map with concentrated areas shown in green. The jet steam is coming from the northwest and could bring the water vapor that in the Vancouver, Canada region our way in the next few days and give us some more snow that I know we are all hoping for.

Today's weather started out with some stratus clouds in the morning, but much of the cloud cover cleared up by early afternoon. Mostly sunny skies with some small clouds scattered around. I just got in from outside (about 9 p.m.) and there was some light snow falling. The map below shows a an area of high pressure moving in which should lead to stable atmospheric conditions and sunny skies tomorrow.

Winter Storm Triton was in full force early this morning and ended for the most part around noon with a total new snow accumulation of around 7 or 8 inches. Flurries continued until around 3 p.m. with stratus clouds remaining for the rest of the day. The map below shows the jet stream with Eau Claire being in a trough. This trough should keep temperatures cooler than average for this time of year, with the high being in low 30's for the next couple of days. Clouds should linger throughout tomorrow, with a slight chance of flurries.

Well, winter isn't over yet... We are currently right in the middle of a new winter storm, Winter Storm Triton. An area of low pressure is currently on the Illinois/Wisconsin border. I had noticed that we earlier today that stratus clouds were covering the skies, and we were experiencing some slight drizzle and flurries. I looked up the wind direction and it was coming from the NE. This told me that we would be experiencing more precipitation, most likely stronger than the flurries of early. Sure enough some snow started falling late afternoon and has slowly increased in intensity over the last few hours. Accumulation estimates range form 2-6 inches depending on the source. I will update the blog with storm totals tomorrow when precipitation clears.

Yesterday's weather was very similar to the day prior, sunny with a high in the mid 30's. Today the weather has been virtually the same but the temperature has reached 40 F I believe. This continued nice sunny weather has been due to an omega high in the Jet Stream that can be seen in the image below. The omega high is moving through our area and we are currently on the back side. Looking at the sky a couple of minutes ago, I see that some cirrostratus clouds have moved in. These clouds combined with a significant SSE wind lead me to believe that precipitation will be in our forecast for the next 24 hours. Due to the temperatures being above the freezing point as of late, and the fact that the wind is coming from the south we could be seen some rain rather than snow.

The weather today was pretty boring after the excitement that Winter Storm Saturn brought yesterday. An area of high pressure in over the Wisconsin and other parts of the country brought us sunny skies all day. The high pressure will stick around and should give us continued sunny skies. Temperatures didn't quite reach 30 F but tomorrow might just get a little above freezing.
