Today in Eau Claire there are warmer temperatures then yesterday. The sky is sunny no cloud cover. Today most likely with these weather conditions will melt the few remaining snow patched in the shadows of Eau Claire. Today so far has been the mildest weather day Eau Claire has experienced all spring. It is predicted that today will be the first fifty degree weather day of 2018 for Eau Claire. In the surface map in Figure 1 it is shown that a low pressure system might be moving into the area along with some rain and snow. This dip in the cold front from Canada will make the warm weather currently being experienced may be short lived. The southeastern United States is being terrorized by rain and thunderstorms which seems to be the trend of the months of February and March this year.

Tomorrow's Forecast:
I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will hold for the morning and temperatures will drop in the late afternoon as the cold weather front comes in from Canada. The forecast map in Figure 2 predicts some rain in the Eau Claire area tonight. I believe the area will reach fifty degrees before the cooler weather and rain moves into the area.

Today is National Manatee Appreciation Day! Today is designated to show respect for this endangered species. There are currently 3,200 manatees living in the United States. During winter months manatees make the Florida coasts their homes. Manatees die and get severely injured every year due to speedboats hitting them. Manatees cannot hear low frequency sounds from speedboats which makes them vulnerable to crashes since they cannon hear the boats approaching. Today is dedicated to the sea cow!
