Welcome to Fall! It's been a beautiful Fall afternoon filled with
plenty of sun, comfortable temperatures and mostly importantly - dry
skies! High pressure dominated the skies Monday afternoon and will continue to
do so Tuesday. Surface winds will shift to the southwest early in the
day, pushing highs into the mid and upper 70s. The leading edge of the
warmth Tuesday morning may briefly turn skies mostly cloudy, but
sunshine will return for the afternoon.
Out to the west a cold front will be moving through the Plains during
the afternoon. Strong to severe storms will be possible from Wisconsin
down through southwest Iowa late afternoon and evening. As the front
moves east, clouds will be on the increase locally. The chance for
showers and isolated thunderstorms will increase through the night and
early Wednesday as the cold front moves through northern Illinois and
southern Wisconsin. Our overall severe threat looks fairly limited due
to the timing of the cold front.
Moisture present in the atmosphere isn't expected to be as high it was
last week or over the weekend, so rainfall should not be as heavy. The
best chance for rain will be during the morning, with drier skies
expected for the afternoon.
