| my wet walk home from UWEC |
And, as forecasted, the mostly overcast skies this morning transformed to nearly clear blue skies with only a few cumulus humilis clouds. And, drum roll please, the temperature reached 42 degrees F at 5:05 pm in Eau Claire, WI! Currently, the temperature is sitting at 40 degrees F with a real feel of 37 degrees F. For the remainder of the week, expect temperatures in the mid-40s or higher. To put this into perspective, Eau Claire has not seen this high of a temperature since December 6th.
Right now, we are experiencing a light 0.7 mph wind out of the E/NE with gusts up to 3.8 mph. The barometric pressure is 30.29 in and falling, the dew point is 17 degrees F, and the relative humidity is 40%.
We can attribute the fair weather in Eau Claire to the high pressure system that is currently over our area. More fair weather is on the horizon.

| The trough is slowly but surely making its way out to the Atlantic Ocean. |
We still have a fair amount of snow on the ground and, as much as many of us would like to see it disappear, we need to be patient. A rapid melt would mean severe runoff and flooding. A nice slow melt will help replenish the ground water table and give us a good growing year. For you oat farmers out there, don't worry; with the temperatures in the forecast, you should still have enough time to get the seeds in the ground.
