Today in Eau Claire there are similar temperatures to yesterday. In the surface map in in Figure 1 it can be seen that there is not much weather activity in Eau Claire today. Temperatures for today are typical for January with high temperatures in the twenties. The western jet stream winds shown in Figure 2 will be bringing a high pressure system and cold temperatures in the upcoming days. The Eau Claire area is going to have to continue for spring to come.

Tomorrow's Forecast:
I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the rest of the day and continue to get increasingly cold across the next few days. In Figure 3 it can be seen that record cold temperatures are anticipated for the Eau Claire area tonight. Eau Claire is foretasted to reach 4°F tonight, which is 6°F below the record low of 10°F from 1926. Thursday might have a slight warm up from a slight low pressure front, but Friday is predicted to bring the cold back as winds shift to the north.

Today is National School Librarian Day! Make sure to head over to your school library and tell the librarians what a great job they are doing and how much you appreciate them. I myself will thank Hans over in McIntyre Library for all of the hard work he does for students completing research projects on campus.
