Few Rain Chances this Week

The sunshine we had Monday was quickly replaced this morning by cloud cover thanks to showers in the southern and central Plains.  A weak area of low pressure will remain south through a good part of today and tonight keeping the bulk of rainfall south of I-88.  We will, however, be just on the northern fringe of that this afternoon and evening.  We do have an area of high pressure at the surface over the southern Great Lakes that should hold the rain at bay for a little while, but as the low passes through southern Illinois we could see a few passing showers later today.  Once that clears by Wednesday morning we'll be watching another low that will develop in the Plains and lift north by Friday as that will be our next shot at any type of rainfall.
