Temperature: 61 F
Feels like: 61 F
Wind: SE 13 mph
Humidity: 54%
Pressure: 30.00 in

This morning started off with some light precipitation. After the precipitation passed through the winds picked up for the afternoon hours. The sun also was able to peak through at times and lighten the day. Currently as I'm writing this blog it just started to rain again, but very lightly. Since yesterday temperatures have relatively been the same with the winds out of the same direction. Pressure has dropped slightly and the humidity has risen over 20 percent. Looking into this evening we can expect a 100 percent chance of rain until 2am. This weather will continue into the weekend as well.

 This is the current radar for the area. As you can see we have some precipitation just getting into the Eau Claire area and it is a fairly decent nimbostratus cloud. This precipitation will be slow moving and will take till after midnight to pass through the area.
 This is the current surface data for the midwest. Since yesterday, we have seen that warm front being pushed to the south. The stationary front that was to our west has taken a turn towards the north on the leading edge. You can see the precipitation that we are expecting for the rest of the night as it is on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

This final picture is of the Stuve diagram from the Minneapolis weather station. You can see that the two lines have come close to contact but haven't actually touched anywhere. This is due to all the precipitation in the air. You can see that the LI and KI are both stable, but we can still expect these showers to continue.
