Wow am I screwing up or what? I am out of town and I am missing what could possibly be a thunderstorm in Eau Claire. Sorry folks, I am going to have to remotely report on this one.
Let's get down to it. As you can see there is a lot of precipitation in the United States currently. The low pressure system on the eastern edge of Minnesota is drawing all of this moisture up from the Gulf of Mexico.
Presently the upper air sounding for Minneapolis shows us that conditions are stable according to the LI and KI values, despite some capping inversion. So Minneapolis is basically looking at some rain showers in the near future. But what about the possibility of thunderstorms later on today? There is definitely a chance that Eau Claire will see thunderstorms. I would really like to be in Eau Claire to see what is going on in terms of cloud type. Remember, if it is cumulus cloud cover look for vertical growth.
