BREEZY NORTHWESTERLIES HAVE LED TO COOLING TEMPERATURES THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY ACROSS THE QUAD STATE REGION, THOUGH CLEARING
SKIES JUST ENTERING WESTERN AREAS CAN LEAD TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF
WARMING BEFORE SUNSET. LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS HAVE EXITED THE
KENTUCKY PENNYRILE LEAVING DRY CONDITIONS INTO THE EARLY
EVENING.
A SECONDARY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS AN UPPER LOW DIVES FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
TO THE GREAT LAKES, BRINGING NORTHWESTERLY WINDS (FORECAST WINDS
HAVE NUDGED HIGHER IN THE DIRECTION OF THE HRRR) GUSTING TO
20-30 MPH. SOME SPRINKLES/FLURRIES MAY MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE QUAD STATE TONIGHT, WITH NO ACCUMULATION
EXPECTED AS MODELS SHOW DIMINISHING PRECIP POTENTIAL COMPARED
TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS/ST. LOUIS.
COLDER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE FRONT, DROPPING TEMPERATURES TO
THE 20S TONIGHT AND ONLY PEAKING IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID-40S
SUNDAY. THE TROUGH MOVES OFF TO THE EAST, ALLOWING FOR HEIGHTS
TO INCREASE AND TEMPERATURES TO WARM BACK TO ABOVE NORMAL EARLY
WEEK. LOW PRESSURE DROPPING FROM WESTERN ONTARIO TO THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES BRINGS A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION,
ACCOMPANIED BY A CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN.
A BRIEF LATE WEEK WARMUP IS POSSIBLE AS A NARROW ZONE OF
RIDGING MOVES THROUGH BEFORE POTENTIAL END OF WEEK/EARLY NEXT
WEEKEND REINFORCED TROUGHING AND LIGHT PRECIPITATION.

CLOUDS (AROUND 5K FT) WILL MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE AREA FROM THE
NORTHWEST. THIS WILL ALSO BRING SOME LIGHT SHOWER/FLURRIES TO
NORTHERN TERMINALS. GUSTY WINDS WILL PICK UP OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT AS WELL WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 20-25 KTS.
