Once again we find ourselves enjoying a brisk February Saturday in Eau Claire, WI. We have our friend, the polar continental air mass, to the north for 13 mph WNW winds with gusts up to 32 mph. If you've managed to ignore my sarcasm and the current 18 degree Fahrenheit that feels more like 4 degrees Fahrenheit with the windchill, well you are probably enjoying the sunny afternoon due to the lack of cloud cover. Look at the satellite image below and take notice of the polar continental air mass sweeping south and east across the Midwest.
You can expect winds to continue this movement overnight, as well as the continuation of clear skies and dropping temperatures as the sun sets. The low for tonight should be approximately 3 degrees Fahrenheit but feeling more similar to -2 degrees Fahrenheit. Fear not though, early tomorrow morning the wind should shift to WSW winds. This means milder temperatures and winds. The high will be around 26 degrees Fahrenheit and clear skies are likely. Have a great Saturday everyone and bundle up tonight if you're going to be outdoors!
