.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 900 PM CST Tue Mar 4 2014

Quiet weather is anticipated across central and southeast Illinois
overnight. An approaching clipper system will cause a gradual
increase in middle-upper level cloud cover as the night progresses,
but do not expect any snow until at least tomorrow. The latest
guidance continues to trend less aggressive with the snow over the
area, with the better chances remaining closer to I-80.

Going forecast is in good shape overall, but PoPs for Wednesday
may need to be lowered if short range model/radar trends persist.
Otherwise, only minor tweaks are needed for the expected
overnight trends.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1149 PM CST Tue Mar 4 2014

A clipper system will pass mainly north of the central Illinois
terminals on Wednesday. Predominantly VFR conditions are anticipated
through the 06Z TAF valid time. VFR cigs should develop later
tonight, where they have not already do so, and linger through
Wednesday. KPIA & KBMI stand the best chance of seeing MVFR cigs,
but given recent model trends, will carry low end VFR for now.
Can`t rule out a few flurries either Wednesday, but they should be
few and far between. Light winds tonight will trend easterly
around 10-15 kts on Wednesday.
