Man am I glad it is Friday and I hope you all are too. Unfortunately the weather isn't as nice as most of us would like it to be on this Friday night. Let's take a look and see what is going on currently and what the weather could be tomorrow.
The image above is an infrared satellite image of the contiguous United States. Infrared satellite images, such as this one are very useful because of their ability to observe weather patterns during the night. I would like you to direct your attention to the swirling winds around the New England and Great Lakes regions of the United States. That my friends is a low pressure system created by the Continental Polar air mass. Sounds familiar, however looking at the surface below you can see the low pressure center is now located all the way to the East of The Great Lakes.
Let's take a look at how the big picture is affecting Eau Claire currently.
Currently in Eau Claire winds are from the NW at about 14 mph and we have complete cloud cover due to the low pressure system. Currently the temperature is 22 degrees Fahrenheit, but will continue to drop as the night goes on. With a current dewpoint temperature of 17 degrees Fahrenheit we could see snowfall when the temperature does drop.Other than the chance of snowfall conditions will remain the same into tomorrow morning.
