Wrapped out upper low over SD will lift out into srn ON by late tonight with cold front washing out through the wrn OH valley today.
Upstream band of showers/storms will trickle east into nwrn areas around daybreak with a brief rumble of thunder possible. Otherwise this is expected to rapidly decay ewd post sunrise through cntrl zones. Thereafter some redevelopment expected this aftn far e/se within wrn flank of departing theta-e ridge with a rumble possible here. Expect most areas inbetween to end up mainly dry.
Weak high pressure follows Tue-early Thu along with height amplification aloft ahead of vigorous nrn plains sys and will yield warm temps near 80 Wed & Thu. Better defined cold front in association with this sys looks to sweep through the lakes late Thu/Fri with a decent looking chance of showers/storms. Otherwise dry and mild next weekend.

Issued at 543 AM EDT Mon Apr 29 2024
A weak cold front will bring rain and a few embedded thunderstorms to the area today. Rain and thunderstorms can be seen on radar entering northern Illinois and far northwest Indiana. This activity will arrive to KSBN in the next few hours and to KFWA around 15Z. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are likely to persist through much of the day as the cold front works its way slowly through the area. Ceilings should continue to drop within the next few hours at both terminals, with near MVFR ceilings with the onset of precipitation. MVFR ceilings around 3 kft are possible during any showers or storms. Winds will be gusty once again today up to 25 kts. VFR conditions return after 00-03Z and through the end of the TAF forecast period.
