Current Weather Conditions for February 17th, 2012

I'll admit I was bit disappointed to see that my prediction for winds to shift to prevailing NW winds today didn't come to fruition. However there are currently WNW winds at 6 mph in Eau Claire, my timing was just a little off. Presently the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit but will continue to drop to around 20 degrees Fahrenheit for the low tonight. Honestly Eau Claire has been going through a pretty boring weather pattern recently but I can't argue with warm February temperatures. Weather for tomorrow will be very similar to the pattern I have predicted the last few days. However this pattern I have been observing could change tomorrow evening.

Take a look at the link to the forecast model from Unisys Weather above. It indicates that tomorrow evening wind direction will be coming from the Southeastern United States. It is very probable that this could occur. Click on the link below and take note of how the continental polar jet stream has been dipping farther south and the winds from the gulf have been creeping farther north and west. If this continues Eau Claire will enjoy a mild Saturday night due to the warmer airmass from the Gulf of Mexico.
