Rain Showers Return Wednesday

An approaching cold front Wednesday morning will bring with it an increase for showers, and isolated thunderstorms, Wednesday morning and afternoon.

Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy Tuesday night with areas of fog developing, some locally dense, Wednesday morning. A cold front stretching from Wisconsin to Iowa connects with an area of low pressure over the Central Plains Tuesday evening. As the front continues to move southeast into southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, isolated showers will be possible through the Wednesday morning. 

Low pressure over the Plains will lift northeast into central Missouri and Illinois Wednesday afternoon causing rain showers to become more widespread, especially over central Illinois. There, a few thunderstorms will be possible. Rainfall amounts will range from a couple hundreths of an inch, up to a few tenths of an inch, however, heavier pockets of rain will be possible. Skies will dry out Wednesday night and for most of Thursday with temperatures holding steady in the low 70s.
