This week it seems like we've skipped right over spring and into summer in Eau Claire. There's nothing like warm temperatures, sunshine, and open ice cream shops to fuel the procrastination of college students in their final week of classes.
Yesterday was a beautiful, fair-weather day with a high temperature of 75 degrees F and a heat index of around 80 degrees F. The high temperature for yesterday was 8 degrees above average for May 6th in Eau Claire, hitting its peak at 4:05 pm.

| This map of the regional low temperatures for 5/6/13 looks almost identical to the low temperature map from Cinco De Mayo. |
The warm WNW winds were blowing through the Chippewa Valley at 8 mph to give us a nice breeze to ring in the warm weather. There was no precipitation on our horizon yesterday, either.

| Staring westward at the sun at 5:47 pm 5/6/13, this is what the sky looked like. This mixture of clouds was what most of the day looked like. Cirrus clouds were shearing with cumulus humilis clouds across the sky in a very viewable way. |
