Showers likely Wednesday morning

It'll be important to have the umbrella handy this morning as showers will be likely between sunrise and the mid-morning hours. Forecast models do toss a little instability or atmospheric energy into the mix which could result in a few heavier downpours or an isolated rumble of thunder. 

As the low drifts further east into the Ohio Valley, shower chances will turn much more scattered in nature for the afternoon and evening. The combination of today's gloomy weather and cool wind out of the northeast, afternoon highs will be severely limited to the low 60s. To compare, today's high of 64-degrees falls 12-degrees short of late-May standards. Conditions remain fairly dry overnight with overnight lows falling back into the low 50s.

Another disturbance pinwheeling around the main upper-level feature will result in a slim chance for a shower or sprinkle Thursday. Breaks in the clouds will be much more likely which should be enough to get us back in the low 70s. Small chances carry on into Friday as yet another disturbance, one that aims to pass well south of the Stateline, brings in some moisture late into Friday night.

The one thing to keep an eye on for the weekend is the progression of a backdoor cold front. As we talked about yesterday, forecast models continue to show a cold front coming off of Lake Michigan and swinging through on Saturday. This would likely leave us cooler than currently forecast. IF that front doesn't develop, we will likely see temperatures soar into the mid to upper 70s. Temperatures from there will climb further, landing in the upper 70s again on Sunday and then low 80s on Monday.
