Highlights:
- More heavy rain and embedded thunder tonight
- Unseasonably cool air this week
- Frost and freeze threat
Low pressure over IN this evening will move north into the Great Lakes Monday and strengthen along the way. A cold front will sweep through the region later tonight and Monday morning and shut off the heavier rainfall. Before that we have several hours of additional moderate to heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms tonight. Tomorrow will be a breezy and MUCH cooler day and help set the tone for the week as a whole. We’ll watch for a weak disturbance to provide a shower chance mid week and keep a close eye on the weekend for the chances of rain. Model data is in disagreement on Saturday as of now.
Tonight’s radar, courtesy of WeatherTap.com, shows another slug of moderate to heavy rain and embedded thunder moving in from the south. Heavy downpours will make for excellent sleeping weather tonight.
Overall rain coverage will decrease significantly as we progress through Monday, but we can’t totally rule out the chance of afternoon showers redeveloping in “pop-corn” fashion as just enough sunshine may work on what will be a very unseasonably cool air mass moving in.
Forecast radar, courtesy of Weatherbell.com, shows this Monday afternoon.
Unseasonably chilly air will be the rule this week- including 50s for highs most every day. The only exception may be highs around 60 Tuesday and highs that may not make it out of the 40s Wednesday. Frost and freeze conditions will be a concern on multiple nights/ mornings this week.
