There is certainly the possibility that moisture from TS Karen will merge with a cold front currently moving across the Midwest and enhance the rainfall Monday into Monday night. This is something that needs to be watched over the coming days. Tuesday brings some uncertainty with regards to the position of the cold front. If it moves through early enough, showers will be in the morning. If it is slower, not only could rain linger into the afternoon but temperatures will be cooler.

On Monday, showers are likely with highs in the mid 70s.  The chance of rain is 70 percent.

On Monday night, showers are likely. Lows are in the upper 50s.  The chance of rain is 70 percent.

Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers. Highs will be in the lower 70s.  Tuesday night it will be mostly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of showers and lows in the upper 50s.
