Today the clouds have dropped to surface level causing fog and mist throughout the morning, making my prediction of precipitation and warm temperatures correct. There is lots of activity in our region of the country today, such as large amounts of low pressure systems to our southwest with colliding warm and cold fronts. This in combination with a high pressure dome on the east coast is causing consistent winds from the south, bringing up warm air from the maritime tropical air mass. A warm front leading the southern air is just now passing over Eau Claire, raising temperatures to a relatively nice 37 degrees. A long band of precipitation stretching from Lake Superior to Nebraska is headed straight for our area, which should cause the precipitation to increase to rain and continue for the better part of the evening and into tonight. Stuve diagrams display a thermal inversion in our area, causing warmer temperatures and lower cloud elevation due to the higher dew point. Predictions for the future include rain tonight before clearing up tomorrow with partly cloudy skies and similar temperatures.
