Eau Claire (WQOW) - The National Weather Service says so far, this year has been the warmest year on record to date in Eau Claire.

Labor Day weekend traditionally marks the unofficial end to summer, and this summer, was the fourth hottest summer on record for Eau Claire. The National Weather Service says this summer was Milwaukee's warmest on record. The dry conditions we've also seen could have an effect on fall. The fall color season could be in jeopardy. Experts say that's also because of the drought. There isn't enough moisture in the air, using the leaves to dry out and drop early, meaning fall colors won't be as vibrant. Forecasters say there's a better chance to see fall colors up north. Summer officially ends September 22nd.
