Windy Day!

Temperature: 65
Real Feel: 65
Wind: NW 21 mph 
Precipitation: 0%
Humidity: 16%

Based on the conditions from yesterday I predicted there would be a chance of thunderstorms last night, which in fact there were. I mentioned that the significant thickening of cloud cloud in relation to the northwestern winds and water vapor in the air, made for a significant possibility for storms. I also predicted a decrease in temperature for today because of the change in wind direction, now coming from the north west, with respect to the low pressure and storm that occurred yesterday. There is also a cold front that has just passed, which also has contributed to the slight drop in temperature. Although today's temperatures have decreased down to about a high of 65, it is not too far off from  yesterdays 70 some degree weather.

14 Degree Drop in Temperature 
Today's conditions started off relatively pleasant, sunny around 50 degrees. The air was still significantly warm from yesterday despite the rain. Although the rain did not seem to contribute to the slight decrease in temperature for today, considering this morning started off fairly warm, strong north west winds and a recent cold front have provided the means for temperatures to be slightly less beautiful than yesterday. Cloud cover has been a minimum throughout most of the day with a few random cirrus unicinus clouds. In addition to the sunny skies in correspondence to the strong north western winds, it is unlikely for any precipitation for today.
Extremely Strong North West Winds

For tomorrow, I expect even more of a decrease in temperature as long as winds maintain their north western direction and as the cold front will continue to impact the Eau Claire area. There also appears to be another low pressure system to the north of us, which may cause the chance for some more rainy weather in the next couple of day. To make matters worse, if temperatures continue to drop that chance for rain may possibly turn into a chance of more snow.
