Happy time change!
Regional water vapor imagery depicts a wound-up closed upper-level low meandering into western Minnesota upstream of a shearing-apart wave over the Lower Great Lakes. Low clouds, mist, and even a few pockets of drizzle are prevalent across Iowa and western IL within a low-level pressure col (e.g. stagnation zone in the winds), which is due to slide east over our area later this morning. Accordingly, we`ll start our day gray and somewhat moist. This afternoon, a cold front will sweep across our area ushering in blustery west winds and falling temperatures. A band of showers (rain mixed with snow) should develop virtually overhead as the front passes through with flurries and occasional brief snow showers prevailing through the overnight hours. Lows will dro Pinto the mid to upper 20s overnight.
Monday morning, the center of the upper-level low is expected to pivot over northeastern Illinois ushering in a reinforcing shot of cold air. With steep low- to mid-level lapse rates within the core of the low, a flare in snow showers is expected during the Monday morning commute particularly over the Chicago area. Accordingly, we`ll have to watch for a few slick spots during the Monday morning commute particularly where snow showers are most prevalent. Snow showers and flurries will then continue into the afternoon hours with the highest coverage in northwestern Indiana thanks to an increasing connection to the unstable waters off Lake Michigan. While highs Monday will “only” climb into the upper 20s to lower 30s, overcast skies and blustery northwest winds will make it feel more like the upper teens to lower 20s.
