The concern for today will be gusty winds - expect southerly winds at 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.  Boaters should use caution on area lakes. 
---
----------------------------------
---
I am happy to report that Wednesday will bring beautiful weather conditions.  There will be some wind to deal with and a fire danger - it is recommended that people don't burn anything outside for the next few days.  .  

---
Temperatures will rise into the 70s on Wednesday and again on Thursday.  Surely nobody is going to complain about temperatures rising into the 70s? 
---
We will have to monitor rain chances on Thursday night.  A warm front will approach the area and could spark a few showers and thunderstorms.  Still some time to monitor.  I don't believe they will be widespread or severe.
---
Additional storms may arrive on Friday night and Saturday - small chances for now.  But the bigger story will be a strong cold front sweeping into the region on Sunday or Sunday night.  This could spark another severe weather outbreak over the central United States.
