Hump Day!

Today was fantastic by my standards! The temperature hung out in the mid to high 30's for a majority of the day. The skies were mostly overcast this afternoon with cumulostratus clouds. It seems like the arctic winds are retreating back into the north.

Image 1: The accuweather image above shows the current precipitation and soil moisture content of the U.S. The Midwest is primarily frozen still however the forecast for the upper western states appears to be good.

Image 2: The image above shows pressure domes, fronts, isobar lines and radar data. A warm front is on its way to the Midwest and will approach us tomorrow morning. Along with the warm front is a low pressure dome which is associated with cloudy skies. There could be a chance of precipitation.

Image 3: Above is the weather sounding for Minneapolis, MN. The dew point and temperature meet around 750 mb which means that there is most likely some sort of precipitation occutring.

Image 4: The image above shows wind speed, wind direction, and cloud cover. Eau Claire has overcast skies with winds coming out of the NW. 

I predict that tomorrow will be relatively warmer and with the warm front coming over the Midwest there is a good chance of rain. As the warm front moves in with its warmer air over the Midwest the air will rise and condense which should cause rain. The temperature should be in the low to mid 40's tomorrow as well. Get your rain boots and coats ready for tomorrow!
