Observations for Thursday, April 7th and Friday, April 8th (With some observations of Sunday's "mega storm")

The conditions on Thursday and Friday were much of the same, with really fair temperatures prevailing and increasing wind speeds throughout each day.  On Thursday at 3:00 pm, the temperature was a comfortable 62 degrees with a dew point temperature of 25 degrees, giving us a relative humidity of 24%.  Winds were growing to their strongest at that part of the day, with speeds of 10 MPH from the south/southeast.  Skies were very clear and present all day.  Friday, as stated earlier, was much of the same.  Skies were clear for most of the day, and at 3:00 pm, the temperature was 62 degrees with winds coming from the east/southeast at 9 MPH.  These really pleasant temperatures were really only a precurser to what was to come during the weekend.  On Saturday night and throughout the day on Sunday, a massive spring storm developed over the midwest that was to produce large amounts of hail, rain, and pretty much everything else imaginable.  Though the storm passed through Eau Claire with little damaged, the same cannot be said for other cities in eastern Wisconsin.  The supercell storm will continue to get stronger as it heads east.
