A Gray Weekend but Sunshine Will Make A Comeback

After dealing with cloud cover for the past several days, we finally got some sunshine in our area!  Although our temperatures didn't warm up a whole lot, at least it made it feel a little warmer outside.  That warm feeling will be staying with us through the weekend, but not in the way that you think.  Warm air will be pushing in from the south, but the sun won't be present.

A low pressure system will be increasing our cloud cover around 10pm tonight, setting up the showers that'll be moving into our area tomorrow morning.  Around 4am is when we'll see a few showers in the western portion of our viewing area, and then by 7am we'll see the showers become more scattered across the Stateline.  A few heavy showers are possible, but mostly we'll see Moderate rainfall during the morning.

By the time we get to Saturday afternoon, we'll start to see those showers weaken, becoming light rainfall before clearing out a little after 4pm.  The warm inflow will continue afterwards, keeping our temperatures much warmer Saturday night in the mid 40's.

By the time we get to Sunday morning, a cold front will move through our area, bringing some showers and a few thunderstorms.  We are under a Slight Risk for severe weather in the southern portion of our viewing area with a Marginal Risk in the northern portion of our viewing area.  Luckily, the strongest thunderstorms, which have tornado threats, will be well to the southeast of our area in Indiana, so we won't have to deal with those.

The main threats we'll need to watch for Sunday morning are heavy downpours, along with strong wind gusts.  However, the strong wind gusts will only be in the southern portion of our area as instability will be greater in that area.






The heavy showers and thunderstorms will clear out by late afternoon on Sunday, with just a little bit of light rain until the evening.  By the time we get into the overnight, temperatures will be dropping quite a bit as cold air will move back into our area.  This will set up another week in the 40's, along with some cold overnights that'll be in the 20's!  However, even though it'll be colder, we will have much more sunshine to brighten up your work week
