Rich,

Come on out. See you at the field.

 Aviation weather concerns this period consist of:
    
    * Lake breeze and an ENE wind shift late this AM/early PM
    * Developing soaking rain this evening and overnight with MVFR and
    potentially IFR cigs/vsbys
    * Low potential for some RASN for a brief period late tonight,
    mainly RFD and DPA.
    * Gusty easterly winds tonight into Sunday morning
    
    Light and variable winds will start the day off along with some
    very patchy/shallow BR at outlying airports. A freshening lake
    breeze will switch winds easterly/northeasterly, first at GYY, and
    then into MDW and ORD around 17-19z. Winds will then remain east
    or northeast through the rest of the TAF period.
    
    Rain chances look to increase quickly this evening, although there
    remains some level of uncertainty regarding just how quickly the
    low-levels saturate with the latest thinking that it may take a
    little longer at ORD/MDW/RFD than currently indicated by some of
    the more aggressive hi-res guidance. Eventually, MVFR vsbys/cigs
    should be commonplace, with a potential for IFR conditions. Have
    introduced TEMPO groups for a period where the steadiest/heaviest
    rainfall is currently expected, and these may need to be moved to
    prevailing groups if confidence increases. Latest guidance
    suggests that a cold rain should prevail at ORD/MDW, with some
    potential for a brief rain/snow mix developing at RFD and DPA.
    This potential still seems pretty low right now, but perhaps just
    high enough at RFD to justify a brief PROB30.
    
    Precipitation chances will begin to trend downwards through Sunday
    morning and certainly through the early-mid afternoon hours with
    some improvement to cigs/vsbys during this time.
