Today's Weather:
Temperature: 74° F 
Feels Like: 74° F
Humidity: 33%

Wind Direction: S, 11mph

It has been a relatively overcast day all day with cumulus and stratus clouds. It was pretty humid earlier in the day but it has really started to cool off most likely due to the cold front that is rolling through the midwest. There are two low pressure systems attached to the cold front that can explain the overcast day as well as the expected precipitation later tonight. It looks like the precipitation is going to hang around until tomorrow so we won't be expecting much sunshine for Wednesday. Wind patterns aren't very strong but they are coming from the south which will bring in those maritime tropical golf winds.

The precipitation throughout the night definitely cooled temperatures off today and the cold front has now turned into a stationary front. There is precipitation lining the stationary front that could stay for a while because neither cold or warm front is strong enough to push through.  Although Eau Claire is near a high pressure dome, we are experiencing overcast skies but hopefully later in the day the sky will clear up. My prediction for tomorrow is temperatures will start to warm up again and there will be sunny skies.

Wind Direction: SW, 7mph

A little bit cooler today and no precipitation yet although we are expecting storms in the forecast. There are maritime tropical gulf winds coming in from the south that are brining in moist air so it is possible for some storms. There is a huge cold front across the middle of the United States followed by some low pressure systems. It is evident on the wind map where the cold front is because of the convergence of the southerly and northerly winds. North of the cold front is experiencing relatively cooler temperatures compared to south of the cold front. The front hasn't quite yet moved through Eau Claire but when it does we will start cool off into the night as well.
