The next front to pass through the region is missing quite a few ingredients in order to produce some showers. It is set to slip through the region tomorrow afternoon. First off, it has very little moisture to work with. Dew points are likely to sit in the 50s during this timeframe. The area of high pressure to the south of us will block the transport of moisture for quite awhile. Secondly, the parent low of this cool front is well up into Canada so there is very little forcing or upward movement to kick up some wet weather. ExacTrack is trying to produce some isolated showers but with the rain chances so low, I'm keeping the forecast dry. However, I will call for some fairweather clouds to develop Wednesday afternoon.
The river levels from this past weekend's rainfall in the WREX viewing area well below flood stage, but that is not the case to the south of us.

Also, here is a link to the rainfall totals from September 12th-14th for all locations in northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana. -ADAM
