It was a gorgeous day on the Eau Claire campus. The sun was out with no clouds in the sky and with breeze coming out of the north. The wind did pick up in the afternoon as we saw wind speeds of up to 13 mph but again subsiding to calm in the evening hours. It was completely sunny for most of the day as we saw a few high altitude cirrus clouds.
As you can see from the surface data, you can see how the winds are rotating to the west of iowa. This is sucking cold air down from canada and the jet stream. That cool air is being sucked right over us and that is why we are experiencing this colder temperatures.
This is a picture of the jet stream moving from west to east. The jet stream has shifted and dropped lower so with that it has brought the cool air. It is safe to say that we are out of that omega high that we were experiencing. With the jet stream dropping, much of the west is now experiencing that warmer weather and the east is in their usual crummy weather right now.
