Dangerously Foggy

Be careful on the roads, Eau Claire residents. There is a dense fog advisory in effect until 7 am Sunday. Current visibility is 0.2 miles, so avoid driving and be super cautious if walking so that traffic can see you. Also, be careful of icy sidewalks as the rain from today starts to freeze. The current temperature in Eau Claire is 31 degrees F. The dew point is 29 degrees F and the barometric pressure reading is 29.82 in. The relative humidity is 92%.

The low pressure systems across the country are causing dense fog in their paths.



Today, we received just over half an inch of precipitation in the form of rain. The skies stayed gloomy all day, covered with altostratus clouds. The skies are still overcast with altostratus clouds, but the wind is now completely calm. The warmest point of today was at 5:05 am when the temperature hit 41 degrees F. Tomorrow will feel much colder than today, with a high of 39 degrees F and a 20% chance of precipitation, most likely in the form of snow.

In the water vapor map below, you can see the moisture associated with the storm front that moved through our area, now to the east.




Between the warmer temperatures lately and the rain we received today, the snow cover is definitely starting to diminish.


Hopefully, we won't see too much more of the white stuff tomorrow for the Easter holiday.
