...MUCH NEEDED RAIN ON THE WAY FOR SOME AREAS TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...

A FRONTAL ZONE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST EARLY THIS
MORNING...WILL BECOME STATIONARY FROM SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
INTO CENTRAL IOWA TONIGHT. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
LIFT FROM THE ROCKIES INTO THE MIDWEST...ENHANCING THE LOW LEVEL
JET...AS IT TRANSFERS CONSIDERABLE WARM...MOIST AIR NORTHWARD INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE GREATEST COVERAGE
OF RAIN IS LIKELY TO BE FOUND ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 34...WHERE
AMOUNTS OF 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF NEAR 1 INCH
WILL BE POSSIBLE. SMALL HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS. HOWEVER...THE LACK OF A STRONG TRIGGER AND INSTABILITY
IS EXPECTED TO PRECLUDE THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER.

THE RAIN WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY MORNING. THE FRONTAL
ZONE WILL THEN LIFT NORTH OF THE REGION SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES SETTLING IN THROUGH
MONDAY.

STORM SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH TONIGHT.
