The forecast that I had yesterday was pretty accurate as there are no fronts and a high pressure system over most of the Midwest. There was no precipitation and clear skies all day. Nothing real mention-able about this Saturday.My prediction for Monday is that there will be nothing to look for in terms of weather as it looks like we will be under a high pressure dome for a bit of time now. It looks like there are no real fronts approaching the area. Should be good weather with clear skies starting off the month of May.

My prediction from yesterday that yesterday was half correct, the cold front moved passed but brought no precipitation. Today we are under a warm front that looks like it came from a continental tropical air mass. From the image below you can see that is right over top of our area of the state. It brought us a bit of warmth that we haven't seen in awhile. There was no precipitation as expected, but it was a cloudy day out there with overcast throughout. My prediction for Saturday is that we will be under the high pressure system coming from the North West (continental polar) and there will be no real notable weather.

My forecast from yesterday that we would see the same calm sunny day was correct. Although I said we would be under a high pressure system was not really accurate as it looks like from the map below that we are under a low pressure system that is bringing some rain along the cold/warm front going over the plains. Today we are under a continental polar cold front that passed through the day. It was clear in the morning and afternoon and then became partly cloudy into the evening. My prediction for tomorrow will that this low continental polar pressure system will pass through bringing no real mention able weather besides maybe a few light showers.

My forecast was accurate from yesterday as we are now under that high pressure system dome. And it was about the same weather as we saw on Tuesday. You can see that the isobars are farther apart causing the weak wind speed of 4 miles per hour. It was a clear sunny day with 0 inches of precipitation. Nothing weather related to discuss today. My prediction for tomorrow is that we will continue to be under this high pressure system coming from the North, and we will have the same weather that we saw today.

As my prediction said yesterday, today there was 0 inches of precipitation and clear skies with some scattered cirrus clouds throughout the day. My forecast for tomorrow is that we will seem some clear skies as the rain (seen on the radar below) in Northern Minnesota will dissipate before it gets to us. It should bring us into a high pressure system as the low one moves out and to the Southeast.

Like I said yesterday today was about the exact same as it was Sunday with the low pressure system not reaching us yet. There was no precipitation as you can see Wisconsin is in the clear in-between to areas of low pressure showers and thunderstorms. It was a clear beautiful one out there all day. My prediction for tomorrow is that this continental polar front will be over Eau Claire and bring us a bit cooler weather than we are experiencing today. I don't believe any precipitation will come with it tomorrow though and it should be another clear nice day here.

The forecast I had for today from Friday was about exactly correct with us being under a high pressure system bringing us pretty boring weather. My prediction from There was again 0 inches of precipitation and clear skies all day long with no noticeable weather. From the forecast map below tomorrow should be about a twin of today with the low pressure system coming from the North not reaching Eau Claire for another day or two.

Today was a pretty normal day with no precipitation and calm winds from the Southwest. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and again another nicer day that we deserve. My prediction for Sunday is that we will have no precipitation and will continue to be under this high pressure dome that is bringing us this nice temperature weather.

My prediction from Wednesday was that there would be about the same normal day that it was and that is correct with us still being under the same pressure system. Today there were no clouds and no precipitation and was a pretty fair day with a average temperature in the 40's. My forecast for Friday is that it will be the same day as today with the huge high pressure system over most of the country besides the Southwest region.

My prediction from yesterday was correct, but there was even less lake effect precipitation than I had anticipated. Today we saw overcast all day with trace amounts of precipitation and snowfall as it was still cold enough today and we were getting winds from the Northeast bringing in some lake effect. My prediction for tomorrow is that there will be cooler weather like today with no precipitation and clearer out.

My prediction from yesterday that the snow would dissipate was correct, but we actually saw an increase in temperature instead of a decrease like I predicted. Today we saw no precipitation with the rain from the Great Lakes only hitting the top portion of the state. It was overcast in the morning then partly cloudy to scattered throughout the rest of the day. My prediction for Wednesday is that we will get some lake effect precipitation, but nothing too heavy.

I forecasted for today was that the snow would move passed which was fairly accurate and the humidity did drop a little bit. There was .60 inches of snow that we got in the morning leftover from yesterday. There was also overcast all day with some cumulus clouds. My forecast for tomorrow is that the snow from Northern Wisconsin will dissipate over the course of the night and not reach Eau Claire. I think that the humidity will go done and we will see a slight decrease in temperature. We will be under this high pressure system for a bit of time now as well bringing us some fairly normal weather.

My prediction for the weekend was a bit wrong because I didn't think there was going to be as much snow as there actually was, but I didn't look at this same map below so I didn't know the forecast for snow I just was looking at the cold front coming in. We received .22 inches in precipitation and 3.80 inches of snowfall over the course of the whole day today. This was an un-welcomed winter storm in mid April. There was light snow over the course of the morning and afternoon, but it increased in the afternoon when most of the snowfall occurred. My prediction for tomorrow is that we will see some remaining snow come through, but we will get to that outer edge of snow shown on the forecast map below and the humidity will start to decrease as this lake effect snow starts to die down.

There was .20 inches of precipitation and 1.30 inches of snowfall and overcast all day which brought light rain in the morning and light snow into the night. Today we saw high winds coming out of the Northeast which bring the worst coldest winds making it feel colder than it actually was today. My prediction for this weekend is that this cold front will pass through and it should bring some precipitation. If the weather cools down I think it will be some slight snow, but if it will not then there should be some rain.

Today we saw .04 inches of light rain left over from Wednesday and we had overcast and scattered clouds most of the day. My prediction for Friday is that we will see some precipitation of some sort from this low pressure system coming (and the 81% humidity) in it looks as through we will be hit by a trough and are not at the ridge in the jet stream as this cold front moves in.
