.DISCUSSION...
A frontal boundary will become nearly stationary across the Quad
State region through the weekend before passing through as a cold
front Sunday night into Monday. This will keep rain chances
in the forecast with rain amounts of generally 0.5-1.5" forecast
by late Sunday night. The heaviest rainfall totals are expected to
be across southeast Missouri into southern Illinois. Relative
humidity values will also be kept much higher ahead of the frontal
boundary.
