      Today in Eau Claire there are warm temperatures that are expected to increase only slightly through the day.  Highs for the day are predicted to be in the sixties.  In the surface map in Figure 1 it can be seen that Eau Claire is expected to have a cold front to our south and thunderstorms to the south today.  Eau Claire should remain having cloud cover for the rest of the day.  There possibly might be light showers at night.

Tomorrow's Forecast:

I believe the weather conditions currently being experienced in Eau Claire will last for the rest of the day with slightly increasing temperatures and cloud cover.  Rain will be expected for this evening, and if not it is expected to come on Thursday.  In Figure 2 it can be seen that Thursday in Eau Claire is predicted to receive some rain between an half inch and a full inch.  A low pressure system to the south of Eau Claire is also predicted for tomorrow.  Friday is predicted to return back to dry weather.

Daily National Holiday: 

Today is National Truffle Day!  Today is the day to eat a truffle to celebrate! I myself will be enjoying the soft chocolate candy truffle but if you prefer the fungus, potato truffle used in cooking I suppose you could celebrate with one of those as well.
