.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 135 AM EDT Sun Oct 19 2025

A large area of rain was spreading north into northern Indiana. The 
heaviest rain from this area is expected to fall east of where the 
heaviest rain fell earlier last night. Rainfall amounts of more than 
an inch in less then an hour will likely bring the potential for some
brief, localized urban flooding today. 

An upper level trof was beginning to become negatively tilted from
the Upper Midwest to west of the Mid Mississippi Valley. Mid level
winds on the back side of the upper level trof were expected to
become very strong near the base of the trof with GFS forecast 
wind speed overs 110 kts. A strong cold front associated with
this system will move east across the area today and bring 
gusty winds. Current thinking is winds will stay below advisory 
criteria with the stronger sustained winds from 20 to 30 mph 
with some gusts reaching 40 mph, especially near Lake Michigan. 

After a brief respite from the windy conditions Monday, wind
gusts from 25 to 35 mph are likely again Tuesday afternoon with
the passage of another cold front. The air behind this system
will be the coldest so far this fall season. Early morning lows
by Friday morning are expected to be in the lower 30s.
