A brief rainshower occurred in the Eau Claire area this morning between 8 am and 9 am. Since then clouds have held off on the precipitation. I assure you though, more scattered rainshowers are on the way.
I would like to point out the very zonal flow pattern of the jetstream today. Zonal flows means that the jetstream is very horizontal. The jet stream three days ago was a good example of meridional flow pattern (below).
The three low pressure systems depicted on the surface map are drawing up moist warm air from the Gulf of Mexico. These low pressure systems in conjunction with the high pressure system above Wisconsin producing a cold front is causing rain showers. Specifically the the warm air is replacing the cold air by sliding over the top of the cold front.
