Today in Eau Claire there are warm temperatures that are expected to increase through the day. In the surface map in Figure 1 it can be seen that Eau Claire is expected to be effected by rain and thunderstorms today, in a band of thunderstorms spanning north to south in the central pains of the United States and tailing off in Northern Wisconsin by Eau Claire. These thunderstorms may hold off during the day today and are expected to occur this evening.however, but will be present at some point in the coming days. The afternoon highs today should be close to eighties, with strong southern winds bringing in warm air. These winds can be seen in Figure 2. The winds are coming from the south in the Gulf of Mexico and north into the direct path that thunderstorms are predicted in Figure 1. The Gulf of Mexico will serve as the fuel source for the thunderstorm planned to occur today.

Tomorrow's Forecast:
I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the rest of the day with increasing temperatures. Rain will be expected tonight. This rain is a good thing as Eau Claire has not had any significant rain events, only snow. And recently with consecutive sunny and windy days fire hazards have become a concern with the continued dryness. And hopefully some rain with help green the vegetation that is currently still very brown in color.
