From the NWS: Saturday night through Monday... The first of two eastern Pacific systems will move into the northern Plains Sunday and upper Midwest Monday as the high amplitude ridge portion of the block gets broken down. Prefer the slightly further west combination of the 00z ECMWF and ensemble means due to the typical poorer handling of blocking patterns of the GFS.

See the bottom portion of this post for what the National Weather Service in Indianapolis is saying. Keep reading to see what I think.
