Today’s video (4:50):

After sunshine this morning, skies become mostly cloudy with 30-50% coverage of showers popping up this afternoon into early evening across much of northern Indiana and Ohio – these showers being enhanced by northwest winds off Lake Michigan.  Areas further southwest should remain dry with a bit more sunshine.  These showers will quickly diminish after sunset.

A similar set-up on Thursday as an upper level trough gradually lifts out of the area.  Areas further south and west should see a decent amount of sun tomorrow, while areas further northeast (in the black circle) see more clouds and a few scattered showers, better chances the further northeast you travel.
