Current Temperature: 23° F
Humidity: 88 %
Wind Direction: Calm
Wind Speed: Calm
Sky Conditions: Light Snow, Fog, Mist
The blizzard conditions expected to hit Minnesota and Wisconsin early Tuesday morning were not so blizzard like. Right now there is light snow falling from the sky as only about 2 inches has fallen. Also, the 30 mph gusts of wind are somehow not blowing as strongly in Eau Claire. Looking at figure 3, Eau Claire reports 0 mph wind, while most everywhere else is reporting 5 to 25 mph winds. Right now the temperature is 23 °F but if feels much warmer than that with the humidity being at 88%. There is a slight chance for up to inch of snow to fall by 3 p.m. but after that all precipitation will stop.
The reason Eau Claire did not receive much snow as expected is because there is not much water vapor in the air, seen in figure 2 below. The huge amount of water vapor stayed south and caused heavy precipitation areas near Kentucky.
Tomorrow temperatures will drop to high of 10°F and a low of -8°F, the same temperatures will remain for Thursday before jumping ABOVE FREEZING temperatures. The 10 day outlook looks fantastic with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
