Today in Eau Claire there are colder temperatures than yesterday due to the fact that there is a high pressure system situated over Eau Claire shown in Figure 1. The high pressure system is bringing cooler temperatures and sunny clear skies. It can be seen that the northeastern south central portion of the United States is being effected by heavy rain and thunderstorms today. In the jet stream map in Figure 2 it can be seen that Eau Claire is receiving northern winds bringing in cooler air, adding to the cooler temperatures being experienced today.

Tomorrow's Forecast:
I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the rest of the day, with alight warming of temperatures during the day due to high exposures to sunlight. Temperatures should reach a maximum of sixty degrees. Similar weather conditions are expected for the rest of the week. Temperatures should be even warmer Friday and into the weekend.
