Scattered Showers Tonight... Nice Cool Weekend on the Way

A surface low is over Indiana tonight with a cool front trailing to the southwest across central Illinois, Missouri, into southeast Kansas becoming stationary across Oklahoma through the southern part of the Texas panhandle.  Severe thunderstorms are scattered just to the south of the front along it's entire length.  A mid level disturbance will be moving across northern Illinois and off to the east overnight.  Showers associated with the disturbance will dot the Stateline through the late night hours.  By morning the showers will deprt off to the east, and patchy fog is possible, mainly to the west of Rockford.  High pressure will take control of  Stateline weather on Saturday bringing the area a cool north to northwest breeze around 10 mph.  Skies will be partly cloudy on Saturday with an afternoon high near 70 degrees.  With the Canadian high centered over Minnesota moving to Wisconsin on saturday night and Sunday we can expect mostly clear and cool conditions with an overnight low early Sunday morning in the upper 40's.  Abundant June sunshine on Sunday will allow for a good recovery in the temperature by Sunday afternoon to near 74 degrees.  By early Monday morning the high will slip a  littlle eastward to northern Lake Michigan.  That will keep skies mostly sunny, and with a light southeasterly wind developing there will be a slight upward trend in afternoon temps to around 77 degrees.  The next preciptiation producer to effect the Stateline will begin it's approach from the southwest on Monday night, and may produce some widely scattered showers and thunderstorm overnight.  High pressure will shift to the lower Great Lakes by Tuesday morning allowing the plains weather system to move intgo the Statline later Wednesday and Wednesday night with a good chance of showers and thunderstorms that will continue through Wednesday.  Temperatures will be back to near season averages for the rest of the week.
