Today is another frigid day in Eau Claire. Skies remain clear and sunny but temperatures remain around zero again today. Winds are making it feel colder than it actually is right now. The clear sunny skies are consistent with the fact we are currently in a high pressure continental polar air mass. In the surface map below in Figure 1, it can be seen we are in a high pressure system which is resulting in the cold temperatures we are experiencing.

Tomorrow's Forecast:
The Eau Claire area is currently experiencing several days of cold and I expect that this will continue tomorrow. I believe these conditions will hold for the rest of the day today as well. Also a winter storm is terrorizing the east coast an is moving westward. Seen in the map below in Figure 2. Wisconsin may experience some effects later in the week.

Daily National Holiday:
Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day! It might be a little too cold to celebrate with this frozen dessert today. Maybe postpone celebrating this day till warmer days!
