Is it Spring Break Yet?

Temperature: 46
Real Feel: 40
Wind: S 11 mph 
Precipitation: 0%
Humidity: 29%

Even though conditions are much more pleasant than last year, and winter is at its end I am still overly anxious for warmer weather. Spring break cannot come any foster, and I will soon be in Florida. As I predicted, conditions have remained similar to yesterday. Temperatures are still in the upper forties despite my prediction of a slight increase due to the change in wind direction. I was anticipating southern winds for today, which is true, due to the strong south winds that were located to the west of Eau Claire yesterday. Although those southern winds are now affecting the area temperatures have not noticeably increased. I also mentioned that I did not except precipitation for today, which seems to be accurate, but if anything today would be another cloudy day.

From the looks of skies today, I was correct in anticipating a day of cloud cover.  Skies are overcast with what looks like either stratus or even stratocumulus clouds. Even with all the cloud cover there is no chance for precipitation for today considering the air is still too dry. Conditions are fairly stable, which means there is little chance for any type of exciting or severe weather. Winds have shifted today and there are now south winds. Temperatures, however, have remained the same and have not increased as I expected because of it. It has been another cool gloomy day, leaving me with nothing exciting to report.

With fairly stable conditions I don't expect much of a difference in tomorrows weather. If winds continue to come from the south temperatures may increase, but most likely not dramatically. Like today, I doubt there will be much chance for precipitation form tomorrow considering the air is significantly dry. Hopefully this means the cloud cover will decrease for tomorrow allowing for the sun to come. All and all, I don't anticipate any significant changes and hopefully Florida will provide me with some more exciting and warmer conditions (not that it is even guaranteed I will post, considering I will be on vacation!).
