Thursday


Today is a little cooler than yesterday, about 70 F with slight wind coming from the NW which indicates the clouds should be dissipating in the next couple of days.  There was a little rain that came through the area earlier today and now it looks like the system has passed through the region.  The sky is currently overcast with stratus and nimbostratus clouds.  Tomorrow should be cooler because the wind is coming from the NW which is bringing cool air from the north and the clouds should clear away a little bit, along with lower chances of rain to occur.

Today is a little cooler than yesterday as a storm system has moved through the area, the current temperature is around 61 F.  There is a moderate wind coming from the SE which is still bringing in warmer air to the region.  The skies are overcast with stratus and nimbostratus clouds and chances of rain to continue today are still high.  Tomorrow should be about the same conditions with temperature and rain chances and the day should be overcast with stratus and nimbostratus just as the whole week has been for the most part so far.

Today is much warmer than yesterday with a temperature around 66 F and a moderate wind coming from the East.  The skies are scattered, about 20% coverage with altostratus clouds and should lower down to stratus clouds later today because the wind is coming from the East and we can also expect some rain tonight as well.  Tomorrow should be about the same conditions and if the winds continue to be from the East, expect mostly cloudy skies and high chances of rain in the area.

Today started out with some thunderstorms and now it has calmed down with a few sprinkles.  The temperature is about 45 F and should warm up a little bit more today.  There are heavy winds coming from the SE which indicated rain for today and possibly tomorrow as well.  The sky is overcast with stratus and nimbostratus clouds.  Tomorrow should be about the same conditions if the wind continues to be from the East and will bring more rain to the area, but if the winds change directions to the west or north than there should not be any rain.  The way it looks today I think the chances for rain tomorrow are going to be high and we can expect more rain on the way.

Today is about the same temperature as yesterday at 50 F and there has been some rain occurring earlier today, along with a moderate wind coming from the SW which is bringing in warm air.  The skies are complete overcast with stratus and nimbostratus clouds and should be mostly cloudy throughout the day.  Tomorrow should be warmer with less clouds and a smaller chance of precipitation because the wind is coming from the SW and should change to the NW tomorrow.

It is warmer than yesterday, about 50 F with a moderate wind coming from the SE which is bringing in warmer air to the Eau Claire region.  The skies are partly cloudy, around 30% cloud coverage with most clouds being cirrus and altostratus.  The rest of the day should be nice weather and no precipitation occurring.  Tomorrow will be a little cooler with more clouds moving in and a chance of some rain because the wind direction is coming from the SE and the clouds should start getting lower into stratus and cumulus clouds.

It is warmer than yesterday as predicted because of a high pressure system over the area, the temperature is around 35 F.  There is a moderate wind coming from the NW bringing in some cool air.  The sky is partly cloudy, about 20% cloud coverage with cirrus and altocumulus clouds.  Tomorrow should be about the same conditions with a little bit warmer temperature and an increase in cloud coverage later on in the day because the winds will switch and be coming from the south and southeast as the high pressure system moves past the region.
