Scattered Rain and Storm Chances Through the End of the Week

A picture perfect Wednesday on tap for us today, with high pressure centered over Lake Michigan. Today, a disturbance moves out of the Rockies and develops into a low pressure in the Plains. Low pressure will move into Minnesota and Wisconsin through Thursday, and will develop rain and storms to our west in the afternoon. Its possible for a few showers to hold together Thursday afternoon and make their way east into the Stateline late day, but the coverage doesn't look to be much. A higher chance for rain and thunder arrives Thursday evening as another round of storms develops east and moves into the area. Again they will be weakening but should hold together to bring a threat for a few scattered showers and storms overnight.

The rain threat will clear Friday morning with the cold front passing to our south in the morning. There is a chance for showers and some thunder to develop again Friday afternoon, but higher coverage will be to our south with higher instability in place. As low pressure passes to our east, along with an upper level trough, a few showers or a rumble of thunder will be possible Saturday and Sunday. While the threat for rain lingers through the weekend, it won't be a washout by any means. The highest chance for rain will be Thursday evening into Friday with mainly light isolated chances into the weekend.
