Father's Day Forecast

We're rounding out the work week on a warm and sunny note. High pressure will keep us clear today with temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s through the weekend. Humidity will also increase over the next few days, as southerly winds pump in more moisture. 


An upper level trough of low pressure to our north will slide east into Saturday. Cloud cover will increase slowly tonight and tomorrow. A cold front will move east into Saturday night, providing enough lift to pop up showers and thunderstorms.We'll have to overcome some dry air at first, so most of the activity will be confined to the evening and overnight hours.


A few storms may stick around on Sunday morning, with a few more possible as the cold front stalls over Illinois in the afternoon. Despite the rain, the heat will stick with us for Father's Day.


High pressure will begin clearing us out on Monday and will last through the middle of the week. Depending on when a low pressure system is able to break that high down will determine our next chance at rain. As of right now, it looks like next Thursday will be the most likely candidate. Temperatures will drop a bit behind that system, with low to mid 80s by next weekend.
