.DISCUSSION...
A weak trough will dissipate over the region today. While this
feature may produce a few spotty showers, much of the time will be
rain free. A wave of low pressure will then move from the Ohio
Valley this evening across the eastern Great Lakes overnight through
Sunday, bringing a round of widespread rain to the region. The rain
will gradually taper off to scattered showers from west to east
Sunday, before ending entirely Sunday night. High pressure will then
build into the Great Lakes Monday with a return to dry weather.
