Today was again cooler than I had predicted, however I was correct in saying it will be windy and cloudy. The current temperature is 45 degrees F but it only feels like 35 degrees F. There are pretty strong winds from the NE, at times gusting over 35 mph. Eau Claire is in a wind advisory until 7pm this evening, indicating winds of 25-35 mph, gusting possibly to 45 mph. The barometric pressure reading has been rapidly falling since around 1am this morning. This is accounting for our overcast skies and strong winds, and also indicating that the low pressure system is approaching. Taking a look at the surface map you can see somewhat of a mid-latitude cyclone forming across the center of the country. 
All 4 kinds of fronts are present on the map (I have labeled them), and the center of the low is currently over Kansas, moving NE. Given all of these factors, rain is expected this evening, turning into a wintry mix overnight. Tomorrow will be cold, windy, cloudy, and overall pretty depressing weather for mid-April. The high will be in the low 40's and snow accumulation will (hopefully) be less than one inch.
