The weather in Eau Claire today was cloudy early with rain and sleet moving in around noon. The surface map below shows a large system to our southwest. The jet stream map below the surface map shows the jet stream bringing this large system directly out way. We are situated in the exact right position within the trough of the jet stream that creates divergence aloft. The divergence aloft causes the air to rise due to convergence on the surface and cool the air to its dew point by adiabatic cooling. There is also a warm front moving moving in from the south that should bring some moist air our way, keeping precipitation in our forecast for likely the next couple of days.
