Today was overcast all day. Not once when I was outside did I see the sun even briefly through the clouds. I woke up this morning and the sidewalks were wet, so I knew there was precipitation during the night. As the day stayed overcast for most of the day, around five o'clock the precipitation picked up again as a light sprinkle. Since yesterday we have seen the winds shift direction as they were coming out of the east yesterday. We have also seen the humidity increase from yesterday with the pressure dropping. These both are from the precipitation we have been experiencing. The temperature has also fallen since yesterday, while we were in the 60's for most of the day.

 This is the current radar for the Eau Claire and Minneapolis area. You can see currently that there is nothing drastic in terms of precipitation that is sitting over Eau Claire. However, you can see a small paths of precipitation that is now in the cities and is working its way west. If it stays on the course that it is, we will experience some more precipitation later this evening.

 A lot has changed from yesterday in terms of the current surface map. You can see how the trough that had the build up of precipitation with it has moved out of the area into Canada. This is thanks to the southwestern winds that we have encountered today. There is a low pressure system that is sitting over the northwestern corner of Wisconsin with another low trough to our southwest. Tomorrow we can expect temperatures to cool down but we should have a few days without any precipitation in the air.

This shows the cool down that we will see over the next day. You can see just to our west that Minnesota is in a cool spot, which will move its way over us tomorrow. After that we can expect temperatures to steadily increase again into the 70's by the weekend. You can see how the southeast is in hot spot however. This has played into building up hurricane Ana. Although the hurricane has hit shore now, the warm weather will continue to impact the coast with precipitation.
