Rain to arrive Wednesday, Arctic blast by late week

Gradual clearing for Monday as we start out the work week. Clouds will remain locked in for the morning (maybe a few drops or flakes) and maybe early afternoon hours with gradual clearing from northwest to southeast. The sunshine will warm things up in the afternoon to highs in general around 50. Your location will be warmer/cooler depending on how much sun you'll see. After a chilly start around 30 Tuesday, things will warm up nicely into the low or possibly mid 50's by afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Clouds will arrive later in the evening ahead of our storm system that will bring rain to the region on Wednesday.

The light to moderate rain will arrive in the early morning hours on Wednesday and will begin to overspread the southern half of the area by mid-morning. I think showers will be possible through the afternoon, with southeastern areas having it the longest. Rainfall amounts in the Evansville metro I think will be around 1/3 of an inch, with heftier amounts south of the Ohio River. Clouds might break up in the evening, especially areas in southern Illinois. The area of low pressure will pass southeast of here, which is where most of the rain will be. After the rain stops, the Arctic air comes on in!

Thursday will be a true winter day. Highs on Thursday will only be around freezing, with gusty northwest winds & low clouds much of the day. Not to mention, light snow will be possible. Doesn't look like a big deal at this time. Thursday evening skies will clear out for Evansville and points to the SW as a cold night will be shaping up. Low temps Friday morning will be in the low 20's. Highs on Friday will once again be in the low 30's with sun for Evansville and points southwest & more clouds northeast.

The weekend looks dry at this point (other than a few flakes), with highs on Saturday in the low to mid 30's, and warmer on Sunday with high temps around 40 degrees.
