Yuuna comes in with our first trace of snow in Eau Claire this season

Pats are back! What a great win! 💪

3" hail at our station in Eau Claire with today's severe weather. Quarter size was the biggest I ever experienced in person before. I was fortunate with just dents, some lost car windows @NWSTwinCities

Some very ominous clouds passed over my house this morning in Eau Claire, as sub-severe storms passed through with gusty winds. I'd rate it the coolest I've seen in '24!

Well well.. It never ceases to amaze me how much earlier and earlier the holiday merch shows up in stores. Early August??! C'mon Costco. UGH.

Too much rain and not enough sun has made for challenging gardening so far, but the cooler temps have been good for the lettuce. 3rd head I've picked in just over a week.

Scattered low topped cells today came with funnel threat. Pic courtesy of Tom Schafer in Medford (Taylor Co) of mid-afternoon funnel/possible tornado. #13firstalert

Finally checkin off the bucket list! #RedSox #Fenway #Boston

Can't be in Boston and not get some authentic clam chowda

NOW: Strong winds accompanying line of storms swiping by Eau Claire. Heaviest activity passing to the south of the city. #13firstalert

NOW: An ominous sky coming into Eau Claire as a line of storms approach but not even seeing any lightning at this point. Should primarily be a heavy rain producer with some gusty winds as the front passes. #13firstalert

Got the veggie garden in today between rain chances.. planting has been tough the last few weeks with rain about every other day.

Just a few of many phone snaps tonight from my home and also at Lake Altoona. What an epic show!

anticrepuscular rays appeared in between storms about 30 minutes prior to sunset in Eau Claire. #13firstalert

Flash flooding is ongoing in NE Monroe Cty where 2-4" of rain has fallen with more storms moving through. Avoid any flooded roads and find a safe route to your destination. #13firstalert

2 broken lines on storms have developed in Western WI in the last hour moving N at about 20mph. Strongest cells will produce wind gusts over 50mph with up to quarter size hail. #13firstalert

Saturday rain timing is a bit up in the air, but if the HRRR is right, any rain will exit by noon with a salvageable afternoon for any outdoor activities.

Still too early for specific #'s but the Sunday-Monday storm looks to pack quite a punch with high impacts currently expected from northwest WI into MN where double digit snowfall is a real possibility #13firstalert

in a nearly no-show winter, this would be an interesting twist for the Upper MW later this month!

The winter that wasn't. A look back at some of the stats of the last 3 months #EauClaire #13firstalert
