Eau Claire experienced some light rain this morning due to a low pressure system located in southern Minnesota. I expect the system to move through Wisconsin late this evening bringing fair weather.
Temperatures today ranged from the mid 50's to the mid 60's. Currently the wind is at 4 mph out of the east and barometric pressure is stable. Tomorrow's temperature is going to be slightly cooler with temperatures in the 50's. The reason for the drop in temperatures is the meridional jet stream that currently had our area and the western states in a ridge is now leveling out into a more zonal pattern.
The image above shows the visible spectrum in terms of cloud cover. As you can see there is a belt of clouds throughout the midwest associated with that low pressure system and accompanying stationary and warm fronts.
