Weather radar [LIVE RADAR | 8:14 AM CDT] indicates a very thin line of precipitation moving from southeast to northwest with the movement affected by backspin from two low pressure areas — one in northern Indiana and another in southeast Illinois. The precipitation coming from the southeast is expected to diminish as a warmer, dryer system moves into the area. The cloud cover is not expected to breakup, but if it does we’ll have temperatures in the upper 70s and 80s.
The greatest chance for rain is likely from this morning through about 6:00 p.m. Some thunder is possible, but the rain is expected to be very light — less than 0.1 inch. Today could be a repeat of yesterday with occasional sprinkles.
