.UPDATE...
Issued 903 PM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

The area of low clouds continues to linger over eastern portions
of the area, and should linger overnight and perhaps into Sunday
morning. These clouds may spread slowly westward somewhat as
well.

Otherwise, middle to high clouds may move east into the area
overnight into Sunday as well. Lows in the middle to upper 40s
are anticipated overnight, though may be a little milder with
the clouds lingering in the east. Increasing southeast winds are
expected Sunday, becoming gusty in the afternoon. Highs should
reach into the lower 70s well inland, with 60s closer to the
lake.

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 320 PM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Tonight through Sunday night:

Northeast fetch and a convergence band will drive areas of
sprinkles to light showers onshore this evening, mainly through
Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha Counties. This activity is
expected to ease after sunset as winds come around to easterly
and decrease the favorable fetch.

Dry conditions are then expected through tomorrow, with breezy
southeast winds during the afternoon. Highs will be in the low
70s.

Sunday night, a cold front is expected to approach from the
northwest, though low moisture and weak convergence along the
boundary will likely limit widespread rain going into Monday
morning.

.LONG TERM...
Issued 325 PM CDT Sat Oct 11 2025

Monday through Saturday:

Following the cold front Monday, conditions are expected to dry
as the cold front slows it`s progress over Illinois, with a bit
of a lull in rain until Tuesday. Then a shortwave is expected to
move east along the surface boundary, firing off some additional
rain Tuesday evening into Wednesday.

High pressure then moves in midweek with temps dipping toward
normal, before warm advection returns and temperatures rise
again heading into next weekend.
