Sunny, but Cool Wednesday

A cold front last night brought 0.10"-0.25" of rain to central Illinois. Breezy northwesterly winds behind the front will clear us out, but keep us cool today. Highs will only reach the mid 50s this afternoon. Clear skies overnight will drop lows into the mid 30s.

Southerly winds return for Thursday, warming highs back up into the mid 60s. Cloud cover will increase tomorrow as a cold front moves in from the northwest. We'll likely stay dry as it passes, but temperatures will drop a few degrees for Friday. A strong storm system will bring in warmer temperatures and plenty of moisture this weekend. Expect strong to possibly severe storms during the day on Saturday. Rain will move out on Sunday, but temperatures will stay on the warm side into early next week. After a dry Monday, rain chances return for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
