Finally Summer?

Current Conditions:

Temperature: 50º F
Wind Chill: 45º F
Wind: 12 mph N
Dew Point: 30º F
Precipitation: None
Pressure: 1015.4 mb

Today was a great day! The temperature was perfect and hung out around 70º for most of the day. There was no precipitation that occurred either. It did feel humid for most of the day though, but it was a huge relief considering the terrible week that we had last week. There is a huge cold front that has moved in which has brought temperatures down yet again, but they are still in the 50's. There were hardly any clouds today but the ones that were present were cirrus.
Image 1: The accuweather image above shows the cold front moving eastward which is mixing with the warm ocean air and creating storms. 
Image 2: The image above shows fronts, pressure systems, isobar lines and radar data. There is currently a low pressure system to the north east of us which will most likely bring us rain over the next few days.
Image 3: The weather sounding here is from Minneapolis, MN. The temperature and dew point are nowhere near each other which means that there won't be any precipitation tonight.
Image 4: The UNISYS image here shows wind direction, wind speed and cloud cover. Eau Claire is experiencing clear skies with light wind from the north.
I predict that we will have clear skies again tomorrow because of the high pressure system in the region, however with the low pressure developing in the north there will most likely be storms in the next few days. Tomorrow should be relatively warm again with temperatures around 50º. Don't expect any extreme weather tomorrow.
