The day that was supposed to snow

Current Conditions:

Temperature: 54º F
Wind Chill: 50º F
Wind: 13 mph SE
Dew Point: 41º F
Precipitation: None
Pressure: 996.2 mb

Today's weather was very decent! There were clouds in the sky all day long. Some were ominous, while others were classified as nimbus. There was also slight precipitation throughout the day, but it didn't accumulate to much. The temperature stayed in the 50's throughout the day with a comfortable breeze. Near the end of the night the clouds broke into a great warming sun. It would appear that the storm that was projected for tonight has moved to the north.
Image 1: This accuweather image shows the warm air crossing the eastern coast tomorrow while showers and lcouds are all around Michigan and Wisconsin.
Image 2: The above image shows the radar data, isobar lines, pressure domes and fronts. There is currently a warm front on top of Wisconsin but a cold front is coming our way within the next day. There is also a large low pressure dome just to the west of Wisconsin which will hit us tomorrow.
Image 3: The above image shows the yellow projected air parcel in yellow. The other two lines represent dew point and temperature. Where these lines meet in the atmosphere is where precipitation is occurring.
Image 4: The above UNISYS image shows wind speed, wind direction and cloud cover. The image shows Eau Claire as being partly cloudy with winds out of the south east. This is occurring because of the low pressure dome and its counterclockwise motion.
I predict that tomorrow will be stormy. It seems like the low pressure dome will be over Wisconsin by tomorrow and with it stormy weather. As long as the temperatures stay high then there shouldn't be any snow, but possibly some rain. The skies should be mostly cloudy tomorrow again too.
