Today has been quite the day for weather phenomena. It was around 50º for most of the day, but it became a lot cooler once the rain came. It started raining in the later afternoon and has lightened up since then. The wind has been hectic today with high gusts in the teens. The sky was partly cloudy in the morning but became overcast as the day went on. The clouds were categorized as stratus during the day but became stratonimbus later.

| Image 2: The image provided above shows pressure systems, fronts, radar data, and isobar lines. There is currently a huge occluded front connected to both a warm and cold front heading eastward. This front is causing storms to form all across the U.S. |

| Image 3: The sounding above was taken from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The dew point and temperature are touching at several levels in the atmosphere which is creating precipitation. |
 |
| Image 4: The UNISYS image above shows wind direction, wind speed and cloud cover. Eau Claire is currently experiencing low winds out of the east and overcast skies. |
I predict that tomorrow will be rainy almost all day due tot he position of the occluded front and the movement of the low pressure system string across the continent. The eastward movement of the fronts and systems shows a mixing of cold and warm air that is producing precipitation. The temperature should be in the low 40's in the afternoon. The rain should persist throughout the day. Time for the umbrella!
