1/31/2012 Weather Observations

Very mild and warm day as the month of January wraps up.  S-SW Wind at 5 to 10 mph and a temperature recording of 40.6 F (Phillips Hall Rooftop, Wunderground at 11:14AM).  In class today we observed Cumulostratus clouds from our classroom and discussed a little about what they meant and the conditions associated with them.  Looking to the North and West a mid-level cloud deck can be seen in the distance.  Cloud cover in my current location is 70% and 100% to the far North and West.  Barometric pressure readings indicated a pressure of 29.65 holding steady.  Pressure dropped overnight but has been consistently increasing in small measurements up until this point in the day.  Winds are expected to increase through the afternoon as temperatures continue to rise.  High Temperatures are expected to stay right around the 40 F mark with winds remaining light.  I include this future forecast not only as an indicator to what may lay ahead but also the changing weather conditions and forecast that might occur differently than anticipated.

Observed at 911 Lakeside Avenue, Eau Claire, WI 54703
