Told you guys, the weather was going to be boring in Eau Claire. But it is quiz time for all of you, without looking at the surface map below, tell me what the water vapor formation over New England is called and what type of front is over Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota. First person to answer correctly in the comments section gets a cookie (seriously I will mail to you if I have to).
If your answers were mid-latitude cyclone and stationary front you are correct! Notice the mid-latitude cyclone is in its dying stages as is indicated by the occluded front. I am sure that many New Englanders are glad to receive that bit of news. Let's shift our attention to the stationary front. Moving into tonight I predict that the warm front will take over the cold front as the cold front in the Northwest U.S. does the same. What this will cause is the development of another mid -latitude cyclone. While this system could produce thunderstorms as early as tonight. I am willing to bet that we won't see thunderstorms in the Eau Claire area until early tomorrow morning due the time necessary for this mid-latitude cyclone to mature.
