Cold and Windy!

Temperature: 46
Real Feel: 38
Wind: NW 20 mph 
Precipitation: 0%
Humidity: 29%

Although it doesn't really seem like, I was somewhat accurate in my predications when I said today's conditions would start to turn around. Today has still be fairly cold because of prevailing strong northern winds. The pressure systems that were to the north of Eau Claire yesterday are continuing to die down, however a cold front which recently passed has not allowed for conditions to change as much as I had hoped. Because of the cold front temperatures, even though not as cold as yesterday, are still considerably cold.
Slight Temperature Increase -
Hard to Notice With Cold Winds

Despite the very minimal increase in temperature I predicted, cloud cover has lessened today allowing for the sun to shine through. With brief periods of sun shine through mostly cloudy cumulus clouds, made for an improvement in conditions in comparison to yesterday. Unfortunately it was hard to enjoy what little bit of sunshine there was considering the brutal north west winds. Even with temperatures above 40 degrees, the air was still a little to cold to bear. As far as precipitation for today, it does not appear that there his a very high chance. Cloud cover is beginning to thicken and change from cumulus to full stratus clouds, however, lack of moisture and steady north western winds will not provide the proper conditions for rainfall.

Prevailing North West Winds
Cold Front!
I am not very confident for a dramatic increase in temperature tomorrow because of the recent passing cold front and continuation of north winds. Although as low pressure to the north continues to die down, winds may not be as intense tomorrow as they are today. In addition to more calm conditions I am anticipating pressure to increase, therefore creating means for sunny skies.
