It has been a cold and rainy day here in Eau Claire. I went to bed last night and it was raining, and when I woke up it was still raining! The rain has continued for most of the day but started to lighten up around noon today. We have had overcast skies all day with what appear to be stratus clouds. I believe all this rain is due to a large low pressure system connected to a cold front that is moving across the Midwest. As this system passes, the skies should start to clear up slightly. We may not start to see a break in the clouds until sometime Friday due to the slower speed that this system is moving. For tomorrow, I believe we will see a great change in weather compared to today! Once this rainfall moves out later this evening, we should be in the clear for Friday, in terms of getting precipitation. The wind will most likely shift to the west or northwest due to the passing of the cold front. The skies should start to clear up as the day goes on and the temperatures should be fairly mild as the high is predicted to be in the upper 50's.
