.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 115 PM CST Sun Dec 7 2025

A weak cold front is making its way through the area today, keeping
low clouds in place across the region. CAMs are once again showing
the potential for drizzle across western portions of the area this
evening as an upper level wave moves through, and shifting east
overnight. Some flurries could make an appearance overnight. Little
to no impacts are expected.

Cold northwest flow on Monday keeps highs down, generally in the
30s. Sfc high pressure shifts east Monday night and returns
southerly winds. Expect a good warm up on Tuesday and Wednesday with
highs in the mid to upper 40s Tuesday, and upper 40s to 50s on
Wednesday.

Ahead of the next cold front, winds will be breezy Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday as the front moves through and shifts winds to the
northwest. Colder air settles in by Wednesday night. Wednesday
night, the attendant sfc low moves through the Great Lakes. PoPs
start to increase Wednesday night into Thursday morning over the
eastern 2/3 of the CWA. PoPs then shift east Thursday afternoon and
taper off Thursday night. Initial precip type is snow for
southwest IN, northern portions of southern IL, and becomes
more of a rain/snow mix further south towards the Ohio River.
Showers and a wintry mix will prevail Thursday afternoon and
evening as things taper off. Any impacts should be minimal as
rain mixes in. A very light dusting is not out of the question
in the northern most areas.

High pressure fills in on the backside of this system with cold
northwest flow aloft. Expect much colder temperatures for the
weekend. Highs in the 20s and 30s Friday. Highs in the 20s Saturday
and Sunday.
