PRE FRONTAL TROUGH CLEARED THE AREA PRIOR TO 6Z WITH SOME LIGHT
RETURNS NOTED ON RADAR. WHILE A STRAY SPRINKLE MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED
15 TO 20 DEGREE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS KEPT ANYTHING MEASURABLE AT
BAY. BEHIND THE TROUGH A SLIGHT INCREASE IN DEWPOINTS HAS OCCURRED
WITH VERY SHALLOW LOW TO MID 50S SHOWING UP PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF
THE MAIN FRONT WHICH HAD A BRIEF VERY LIGHT SHOWER ALONG THE LAKE
SHORE. SKIES WILL QUICKLY CLEAR NEAR OR AFTER SUNRISE ALLOWING TEMPS
TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S AS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
CAA OCCURS BEHIND THE FRONT DESPITE THE PASSAGE OF A CLOSED UPPER
LOW TO OUR NE.
NO SENSIBLE WEATHER CONCERNS EXIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND AT LEAST
THE FIRST PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEK AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING KEEPS ANT
DISTURBANCES NW OF THE AREA. A WEAK FRONT MAKES AN ATTEMPT TO ENTER
THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE RIDGE FLATTENS SOMEWHAT. MOISTURE
WILL BE CUR OFF, LIKELY RESULTING THE NBM BASED SLGT CHC TO LOW CHC
POPS BEING OVERDONE. RIDGING BUILDS BACK NORTH INTO THE PLAINS AND
EVENTUALLY WORKS EAST TO MAINTAIN DRY AND SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS
THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. THEREAFTER, A POTENTIALLY MORE ACTIVE
PATTERN BEGINS TO SETUP WITH SEVERAL DISTURBANCES TO OUR WEST
FOR THE NEXT WEEKEND ALONG WITH SIGNS OF INCREASING LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE POSSIBLY MAKING A RETURN. MODELS VARY ON POTENTIAL
IMPACTS TO THE AREA, MOST OF WHICH WOULD BE CONFINED TO NW
AREAS. LATER PERIODS RIDDLED WITH SLGT CHC AND CHC POPS AS A
RESULT.

VFR CONDITIONS AT THE TAF SITES WITH DECREASING CLOUDS THROUGH
THE PERIOD. A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE SINKING SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGH NORTHERN INDIANA (JUST NORTHWEST OF KFWA AS OF THIS
WRITING). EXPECT WINDS TO BECOME MORE NORTH-NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE PERIOD, GENERALLY AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS. THERE ARE A FEW
OBSERVATIONS AROUND 3000-3500FT AT THE MOMENT-INCLUDING JUST
UPSTREAM OF KFWA, BUT IT SEEMS MORE INTERMITTENT. HAVE SCT035
