DISCUSSION
 
 
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES FURTHER EAST TODAY, WITH BREEZY  
SOUTH WINDS DEVELOPING IN ITS WAKE. WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL  
ADVECT NORTHWARD AS A RESULT, WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO RETURN TO  
SEASONAL NORMALS BY THIS AFTERNOON (MID TO UPPER 30S). A LOW  
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST ON MONDAY,  
WITH A COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST BY MONDAY MORNING.  
STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE FRONT MAY SPARK THE  
DEVELOPMENT OF DRIZZLE LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH  
TEMPERATURES WILL NONDIURNALLY WARM OVERNIGHT, THERE IS A LOW  
CHANCE (20%) THAT SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE MAY MATERIALIZE NEAR/NORTH  
OF I-74 WHERE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR FREEZING.  
 
RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON IN EASTERN/SOUTHEAST IL AS  
THE COLD FRONT WORKS THROUGH THE AREA BEFORE STALLING OUT NEAR THE  
OHIO VALLEY.
