The clouds have finally departed and we have a clear Eau Claire sky tonight. The sunshine we saw this afternoon used its power to burn off the gloomy clouds. Unfortunately, that sunshine will be an anomaly this week.

| clear skies...for now |
 |
| low pressure system to the southeast is moving NE; the only current precipitation is happening in the Rockies (occluded front bringing snow) and SE of us (ahead of a cold front) |
Currently, conditions in the Chippewa Valley are fair. It is 31 degrees F outside and only feels one degree F colder. The barometric pressure is currently stable at 30.32 in Hg. The dew point is 24 degrees F with a relative humidity of 78%.
The winds are calm at the moment; although, we did see some gusting earlier today. These winds will pick up again as the next big low pressure system moves into our area. As the next big storm brings rain, flooding could happen in Eau Claire. Right now, Eau Claire is in a flood watch from noon Wednesday until Thursday night. Tomorrow's rain will start out light but progressively intensify by evening, which could leave us with over an inch of precipitation.

| current moisture in the air (Notice the moisture increasing to the east that will bring us rain tomorrow.) |

| The snowcover will increase in our area after the next few days. |
