.AVIATION...

Weather conditions across the airspace will be benign overnight.
Light easterly flow will continue while mid/high level clouds build
back in, as a batch of showers churns across Central Illinois and
Indiana. The northern periphery of this activity will try to scrape
through southern portions of the airspace Sunday morning. However,
the low-level easterly flow will continue to have a drying
influence; thus, limiting shower coverage and intensity.

Low-level moisture will begin pooling along an approaching cold
front at the end of the forecast period. Anticipating MFVR ceilings
may occur around and after Sunday's sunset. Meanwhile, showers with
a few thunderstorms will accompany this front, as it moves through
the region Sunday night.

For DTW/D21 Convection...A cold front will approach from the west
very late in the forecast window. A band of showers with an embedded
thunderstorm or two is possible late Sunday evening.

THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* Low for ceilings below 5000-ft Sunday morning and Medium Sunday
   evening.

* Low for a thunderstorm after 03z Monday (late Sunday evening)
