DISCUSSION

The region remains under the backend of the upper level trough that is sitting to the NE over the Great Lakes. Cool temperatures in the low to mid 70s and mostly cloudy to overcast skies are expected to remain today and early tomorrow as a result. Ridging will begin to build into the area tomorrow afternoon and is forecast to begin eroding a bit of the cloud cover across the region, which will allow for gradual warming of the highs into the mid and upper 70s by the end of the week and start of the weekend.
A small chance for PoPs return overnight Saturday into Sunday morning for SEMO, far western KY, and southern IL with the arrival of a small shortwave.
Mid next week another longwave trough is forecast to move through the region bringing widespread PoPs (40-60%). Confidence is low on the exact timing and extent of the rain, but some guidance suggests rain beginning Tuesday night and lingering through at least Wednesday evening. More details on this event will come in future updates.
