Watch the weather carefully today because we are expected to get some rain - or in other terms, a midlatitude cyclone!  The warm front associated with the air coming off of the golf of Mexico should overtake the cold front and move north, while the cold front of the rockies will move across the great plains.  Expect precipitation to occur in about 6 hours.  Watch for the cloud patterns today too as the front moves closer!

Tempeature: 46 F

Tempertures today will remain in the upper forties to lower fifties due to the high pressure system located to our north.  The low temperatures are associated with the continental polar air mass bringing the cold northern air down from canada.  The winds are incredibly strong today!  Look for a midlatitude cyclone to occur if the trough dips down low enough sometime later this evening!

Earlier this morning, Eau Claire was experiencing a mid latitude cyclone with precipitation acquiring to about half an inch.  Around 12pm the nimbostratus clouds started clearing up and stratus clouds, followed by cirrus moved in towards the afternoon.  Late evening, the skies were clear, indicating that Eau Claire is under a high pressure system.  Expect tomorrow's temperatures to be cooler than today's due to the polar continental air mass making its way through the area.  Eau Claire should remain in a high pressure system through tomorrow afternoon.
