Previous Forecast:

The remainder of yesterday did continue the way that was previously predicted.  Warm temperatures continued for the rest of the day yesterday.  Temperatures remained in a wide scale from twenties to fifties, with an average temperature of 40°F.  Yesterday was the warmest day of the year, but the average temperature of the day was still eight degrees below average.  The daily average temperature of April so far is still below freezing, it is 28°F.  Today the warm temperatures have continued and by noon we have already hit fifty. 

Current Conditions:

Temperature: 50°F          Feels Like: 50°F
Humidity: 55%
Wind Conditions: 0 mph
Precipitation: 0%
Sky Conditions: sunny with partly cloudy skies
Visibility: 10.0 miles

      Today in Eau Claire there are cold temperatures much like yesterday due to the fact that we are no pressure systems situated over Eau Claire shown in Figure 1.  Today appears to be another unaffected bad in the surface map.  It can be seen that the southeastern portion of the United States is being effected by heavy rain and thunderstorms today.  In the jet stream map in Figure 2 it can be seen that Eau Claire is receiving western winds bringing in warmer air.  In addition with no surface winds today, Eau Claire is experiencing significant warming.

Tomorrow's Forecast:

I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the rest of the day.  There should be some slight cloud accumulation during the day.  Today is expected to stay dry.  Today temperatures are anticipated to remain in the fifties but Sunday has the potential to be the first sixty degree day of 2018.  Sunday should be a sunny beautiful day.
