Sunday April 1st - Night Obs & Monday April 2nd - Morning/Midday Obs.

Last night temperatures remained cool with a light breeze that picked up in intensity around 8/9 o'clock CST.  Winds gradually built to about 15 mph in gusts, and about a steady 7 or 8 mph otherwise.  Temperatures remained cool, wind out of the E/NE which was kind of weird to say the least.  High level stratus clouds in the distance to the Southwest, West, and North.

Woke up this morning to a windy breeze.  At least 10 to 15mph consistently, cloud cover at 20%.  High level cirrus, cirrostratus clouds seen.  Wind still blowing hard out of the E/SE.  Sunny/Partly cloudy conditions, with a temperature reading of 55F as of 12:54PM. High expected to reach 68 today but I expect it to feel much cooler with all the wind that is present today.  These windy conditions frighten me somewhat as conditions have become cloudier throughout the day and the wind from the east.  There is some sunshine but with the wind from the east there must be high pressure there and lower pressures to our west.  I do not know if this will cause any major storms or precipitation but there is a good chance if some of these cirrus clouds begin to change shape or type as we move later in the day.

Observed at Phillips Hall UW-Eau Claire, 54701
