...WET WEATHER TO START OUT HOLIDAY WEEKEND...

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM

FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL CONTINUE 
NORTHEAST...MOVING TO SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BY MIDDAY. 
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE JUST AHEAD OF THIS LOW. SOME OF THESE 
MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL BEFORE SUNRISE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE

WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF A HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH ARE

RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF A QUARTER TO HALF INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE BEFORE 
SHOWERS END IN MOST AREAS AROUND MIDDAY.

THE NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS 
NORTHEAST IOWA AND THEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN IOWA MONDAY

THE AREA. OTHERWISE...DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF 
THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND.
