It is currently 37°F with no wind, humidity at 67%, and clear skies in Eau Claire, WI as a high pressure system bringing cooler air from Canada settles into the region. A frost advisory is out for Eau Claire County as well as neighboring counties which is bad news for fruit farmers whose trees have probably already started to bud. Showers are likely south of the region but dry air will dominate our area. Temperatures should gradually climb into the 60s over the weekend and into the 70s by early next week! The jet stream is pretty meridional for the most part which means there is no major troughs or ridges. We are in a weak trough which is enough for cold air from the continental polar to descend on us.
