220 AM EDT Tue Oct 21 2025 SYNOPSIS... After high pressure moves further east of the area today, a deep storm system will slowly rotate across the Great Lakes the remainder of the week. Light rain showers will move through the region today before as cold air deepens behind a cold front, causing bands of lake effect rain northeast and east of both eastern Great Lakes through the remainder of the week. Heavy rain and embedded thunder within the bands of lake effect rain will bring several inches of rain to drought stricken regions east of the Lakes. Area Forecast Discussion
