An intense low pressure storm system is located just east of the eastern end of Lake Superior in Ontario Canada at 11 pm cdt. Because of the very tight pressure gradient around the low fairly strong winds continue to buffet the Stateline tonight. Overnight the wind will slowly subside, but still whistle through the area from the west/northwest at 15-25 mph with gusts above 30 mph. There could be a slight let up toward morning along with partial clearing. The low will be in the low 30's. The breezes will pick up again in the morning on Sunday, and may again gust above 30 mph, before diminishing in the afternoon. Skies will be partly sunny on Sunday with weak high pressure taking control of area weather, and the high will reach the low 50's. That's still cool, but much nicer than it was on Saturday. On Sunday night the next storm system to affect the midwest will send a lead impulse across the plains across Illinois giving the Stateline a chance of some light rain showers. On Monday the storm system will begin to ogranize in the Rockies as a warm front begins to push northward across Missouri and southern Illinois. That could scatter some light rain showers into northern Illinois. On Monday night some serious over-running of Gulf moisture over the front lying to our south will take place. Showers and thunderstorms will spread across the area, and continue off and on thru Tuesday night when an strong area of low pressure will move across Illinois just to our south. Wednesday will be a mostly cloudy, windy, chilly day with a good chance of showers as the low pulls away from the Stateline across Michigan into southeastern Ontario.
