Pretty interesting weekend for storms in Eau Claire. I have to say we received more rain than I had anticipated we would. Then again it can difficult to make accurate predictions when you are dealing with stationary fronts and convective lifting.


Although most of our precipitation occurred on Monday and Wednesday, we did have a few short intense storms Thursday through today.


It is interesting to look at the barometric pressure records for this week because you can see when those short intense storms occurred. They occurring when the barometric pressure briefly and suddenly drops.


Not so fast though, we aren't quite ready to stop keeping track of the precipitation accumulated this week. The occluded front front, which is to the west of us currently, could likely produce some lighter showers as it moves through Wisconsin tonight.
