The remainder of last night did continue the way that was previously predicted, dry with no precipitation.  Warm temperatures have picked back up this morning and currently at 11am there are clear sunny skies with warm temperatures, promising for a beautiful day ahead.

      Today in Eau Claire there are warm temperatures that are expected to increase through the day.  Clouds are expected to increase as the day continues to make way for predicted rain and thunderstorms shown in the surface map in Figure 1.  Temperatures before the storm are predicted to clime to the mid eighties.  Most of the day will be dry except for a few scattered showers later in the day.

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 for later today.  In Figure 2 it can be seen that 12 hours from not there is a chance of rain and thunderstorms over Eau Claire.  This system is predicted to leave quickly and bring nice cooler weather in the sixties for Sunday.  This is perfect because Sunday is the Eau Claire marathon so runners will not have to be concerned about heat stroke, which is good.

Daily National Holiday: 

Today is  Cinco De Mayo Day!  Today is the day to celebrate the fifth of May!  Today is not just a day to eat chips, salsa, and tacos, but a day close to the people of Mexico's hearts because today celebrates the Mexican Army's struggle for victory over the French Empire in 1862.  An important day in history, with a need to be remembered.
