Apologies for the late night post, I haven't been feeling well today. Let's take a look at the current weather pattern in Eau Claire. It is 11:28 pm in Eau Claire and the temperature is 32 degrees Fahrenheit with overcast skies and WNW winds of 15 mph. If you are out and about Eau Claire tonight be careful on those sidewalks as it is cold enough for all of the snowmelt caused by the warm temperatures to freeze.
Earlier today winds were predominately from the South, however as you can see on the surface map a cold front from the WNW has pushed the warm front we enjoyed the last two days North. So you may be wondering, does this mean we will have cold temperatures tomorrow? The answer is not necessarily!
If you would be so kind as to direct your attention to the 300mb level upper air data map you will notice how the jetstream is dipping down in the southwest US and then sweeping back north of over the Midwest. Do despite W surface winds we are still experiencing warm air traveling to the Eau Claire area. This along with the heavy cloud cover that has trapped a lot of the heat caused by Tuesday's warm weather and bright sun should keep temperatures in the low 40's tomorrow.
