Today was yet another step in the right direction. Spring is on its way here! The high for the day was in the 40's with almost no wind. The skies were fairly clear during the day with the exception of a few cirrus clouds that were sheared in the upper atmosphere. Image 1 below shows the projected severe weather areas over the next few months. It appears that the trend will begin near Texas and move its way northeastward. Currently we are experiencing warm conditions which are getting rid of the snow.

Image 1: The Accuweather image above shows the projected areas of where severe weather may occur. Each greater circle represents the months and bad weather as the summer goes on.

Image 2: This UNISYS image shows pressure domes, isobar lines, fronts, and radar data. There is a warm front over the top of Wisconsin at the moment. There are more overcast conditions toward the north. There is also a cold front right behind the warm front.

Image 3: The sounding above is taken from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The yellow line represents the projected air parcel for the day. The notations on the right side of the image show weather conditions.

Image 4: The image above shows the surface wind conditions. Cloud cover, wind direction and wind speed are all visible on the image. Winds are coming out of the south in Wisconsin.

I predict that tomorrow's weather will consist of warm conditions once again. In image 2 above there is a warm front that is slowly making its way across the Midwest, however there is also a cold front right behind the warmer air. There will most likely be cooler conditions over the weekend, but nothing lower than about 20º for a high. The skies over Eau Claire will also become more cloudy over the weekend. It should be a pretty clear and great weekend over all.
