Today overall has been a nice day in the Chippewa Valley area. The sun has been out and we have experienced temperatures in the mid 60's. The morning started out with altostratus clouds with a breeze of around 10 mph out of the west. As the afternoon continued we saw cumulus humilis clouds roll into the area. The wind picked up to 20 mph and saw gusts close to 30 mph. The wind continued out of the west also. As the afternoon will turn to evening, we can expect much of the same. The wind however will die down some into the night.

As you look at the current radar, you can see the cold front from yesterday has now pushed through the area. Although that cold front has left the area, there is another cold front coming in behind it. There is also a low pressure system that is sitting to the north just into Canada. This cold pressure system will continue to be pushed southward by the wind. Another thing to note is the low pressure system is sitting with some precipitation. We may see this precipitin as the winds will be swirling in a counter clockwise direction, bring the precipitin down into Wisconsin and Minnesota. Over the great plains currently we can see a stationary front that is in a low pressure system. This system also has some precipitation which will hit the area early next week. We should keep an eye on this as it is predicted that we see snow on monday morning. 

This is the stuve diagram from the Minneapolis weather station. You can see that we did almost experience rain as the precipitation almost went into the temperature column. Both the LI and KI index's are sitting at very stable also, so we won't see any precipitation the rest of the evening in Eau Claire. You can see from the flags on the right side that the wind has been consistently coming from the western direction and the start of the troposphere was around 12,000 meters.
