Alright let's get a move on today, because I feel rain is on the way! Alright so if you looked at the wind map you noticed that there is a strong S wind in the central portion of the United States. This is ideal for rain as I am sure all know by now because of the warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico that acts as fuel for a storm.
Currently the jet-stream is rather zonal, however take note of the series of low pressure systems across the United States. What I expect will happen is that the low pressure system over South Dakota will begin mature as a mid-latitude cyclone as the warm front pushes over the cold front in the 12 to 18 hour range. Eau Claire will likely see some showers tonight but thunderstorms are most likely going to be a full affect tomorrow.
