Showers have begun to move into northeast Iowa and southeast
Minnesota this morning. Upstream observations suggest
visibilities associated with these showers are largely VFR
though some sites have been reporting reductions of 3-5SM along
with MVFR to IFR ceilings. Would expect this trend to continue
as the showers continue eastward, so can't rule out some MVFR to
possibly IFR restrictions west of the Mississippi River, mainly
west of a KRST to KCCY line this morning. Drier air across
Wisconsin should largely hinder showers, and by association
MVFR/IFR restrictions, east of the Mississippi River with VFR
conditions expected to prevail through the TAF period.

That said, recent high-resolution guidance has begun to suggest
showers could redevelop overnight meaning those east of the
Mississippi River could have a better shot at seeing some light
rain than they do during the day. Also can't rule out a rumble
of thunder overnight west of the Mississippi River if
redevelopment does occur, but the potential for lightning is
very low (< 10%). Otherwise, southeast winds of 5-10KT continue
across the region with gusts of 15-20KT possible this afternoon,
strongest west of the Mississippi River.
