If you live anywhere besides the west coast in the US you would have noticed a large amount of rain and thunderstorms this past weekend and today. These storms are all stemming from a massive mid-latitude cyclone which has pretty much stalled and become stationary with the focus over Iowa. This system has caused massive amounts of tornadoes in the southeastern US. A few people have died from these tornadoes and I'm sure the number will only rise as the storms pass through.

Today the system is starting to finally break up but the remnants of it will stick around for the rest of the week as it slowly moves on. The tornadoes are hopefully but they could always pick up with there still being precipitation riding in front of the dry line between the cold and stationary fronts. On the Wundermap  there is a layer called Model Data which projects forward over 350 hours into the future what the weather is most likely to be and according to it the center of the system will move northeast then finally fall apart this weekend. The east coast will continue to have rain into next week but the there should be clear skies and warmer temps for the entire US. For tomorrow, in Eau Claire, expect more rain and slightly lower winds.
