The remainder of yesterday did continue the way that was previously predicted, high temperatures with no precipitation.  Yesterday was the warmest day of the year with a high of 84°F.   Warm temperatures have picked back up this morning and currently there are warm temperatures with some humidity and cloudy skies making it feel like rain is approaching.

      Today in Eau Claire there are warm temperatures that are expected to increase through the day.  The morning was sunny, but cloud cove is expected to come in during 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.  Cloud cover will limit the the temperatures Eau Claire is able to reach today and should have temperatures remain in the seventies.  By late afternoon there are some predicted showers that should enter the area.  A low pressure system will be moving through Eau Claire today bringing rainfall.

Tomorrow's Forecast:

I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the morning.  I think that temperatures will remain in the current range of temperatures being experienced.  Rain is expected for later today.  In Figure 2 it can be seen that rain is predicted for Eau Claire in the next 24-hours as a low pressure system moves through the area.  This system is predicted to linger and bring showers into Wednesday as well.  The clouds and showers should bring temperatures back to seasonal averages in the sixties.
