DISTURBANCES SWINGING THROUGH THE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FA TONIGHT BUT WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING THE AREA SHOULD SEE SOME DECREASE IN COVERAGE. DROPPED POPS INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. THE LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S SHOULD BE JUST A BIT BELOW NORMAL. && .SHORT TERM /6 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING/... UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER INDIANA TO REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

A CLOSED LOW WILL BE OVER THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY AT THE START OF THE PERIOD. THIS WILL SLOWLY RETROGRADE AND OPEN UP THROUGH THE WEEK. UNSETTLED CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BUT COVERAGE SHOULD PROGRESSIVELY LESSEN THROUGH THURSDAY. SCATTERED MAINLY DIURNAL ACTIVITY WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH THE GULF WIDE OPEN AND WEAK DISTURBANCES LIFTING NORTH BETWEEN THE REMNANTS OF THE TROUGH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY AND A BERMUDA HIGH.
