National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
535 AM CST Wed Mar 8 2023
.SHORT TERM… Issued at 315 AM CST Wed Mar 8 2023
Through Wednesday night…
Quiet weather is expected through Wednesday night ahead of our approaching winter system arriving Thursday (more on that below). Upper ridging remains overhead with the influence of the Canadian surface high pressure keeping us dry and winds generally easterly. On the southwestern fringes of this feature there is just enough low- to-mid level moisture advection and frontogenesis associated with a weak shortwave moving beneath the ridge for light precipitation to develop along the mid-Mississippi River Valley. This may try to sneak eastward into southwestern periphery of our forecast area this morning, though am fairly confident the dry low-levels keep this as virga or at most a stray sprinkle reaches the ground.
Despite the cloudy skies today, temperatures are expected to warm into the mid to upper 40s across much of the area, with the exception being far northeast Illinois and shoreline areas where warming likely stalls near or just above 40 thanks to lake cooled air influences.
