The lower pressure system is continuing to move toward the NE and carrying a cold front with it. Following behind it is a series of high pressure systems.

Winds in Eau Claire area are coming from the west beginning to transcend temperatures in the Midwest to cooler temperatures. The cold front is separating the wind directions from the south to the east. On the left side, winds are coming from the WNW and the right side warmer temperatures are moving from the south.

The areas under the low pressure are still experience high quantities of moisture in the air. Continuing a great deal of rain fall and flooding in certain areas in the south.

With the changing wind direction, adjustment in the jet stream (that is still circulating its ridge in the jet stream), the high temperatures are not going to last in the Midwest. By the end of the week the temperatures will drop back down to low 30s and maybe we could even see some snow.
