There is basically one word that sums up today and that is rain. It has been raining all day long here in Eau Claire. We are experiencing very strong east winds with cloudy skies with what appear to be stratus clouds. There is supposed to be a slight break in the precipitation this evening, but it is predicted to start back up in the early morning hours of Tuesday. All this rainfall is due to a very large low pressure system that is slowly moving its way across the Midwest. It is currently sitting over eastern Nebraska. There is a fairly large pressure gradient with this system that is causing the strong winds that we are experiencing currently. This gradient will not be quite as pronounced tomorrow, and we are expected to have a slight drop in wind speeds. With the slower speed of this system, we have rain again tomorrow for most of the day.
