I have quite the treat for all of you today. But before I reveal the exciting news to you all, I will let the suspense build a little and cover the current weather conditions in Eau Claire first. The wind speed is presently 8mph from the west. Visibility is excellent as of now due to zero cloud cover in Eau Claire's vicinity, allowing for the sun to shine. With no solar reflectivity to block out the sunlight we are enjoying a relatively mild February temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Alright now for the news you have all been waiting for. This news is more than likely mostly going to excite students in the Eau Claire area, most adults...not so much. Over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday Eau Claire could potentially host some serious snow accumulation of snow. The conditions that will cause this storm includes a massive low pressure system moving east out of the Rockies in conjunction with a warmer moist air mass moving north from the Gulf of Mexico.
The low pressure system hanging out around eastern Colorado in the surface map above is the one I am talking about and is beginning its journey to the upper Midwest as we speak. As this is such an awesome weather event I will make another post later tonight to update you on the progress of this storm. There are a lot of variables that could make or break this snow day for all you college students. As we move into tonight I will be able to shed more light on the situation.
