- Three Chances for Rain This Week, then Cooler

An area of warm advection/isentropic ascent could bring a few showers and a low chance of thunder tonight, but moisture is limited and most places will remain dry. More rain is possible on Tuesday night into Wednesday as moisture pools along a stationary front draped across the southern forecast area, but most of the precip should remain to the south.

Widespread rain arrives on Thursday as a shortwave trough digs across the region with a vigorous surface low tracking through the Great Lakes. This is followed by sharply cooler temperatures for the weekend with a widespread freeze expected for Saturday and Sunday.

Skies are mostly clear across the region. Low pressure will move east from Wisconsin tonight and push a weak front across the terminals. We included a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms during the late evening and early overnight period. After the precipitation moves through, we'll return to VFR conditions.
