Rainy Tuesday


The Illinois River in Peoria is expected to crest around 29.4' this morning. That level will stay steady for much of the day as we add on a chance of showers and thunderstorms. We're starting off cloudy, but as a cold front moves in from the west, we're looking at widespread showers by late morning. Thunderstorms building in early this afternoon will bring 0.5" to an inch of new rain.



Behind the front, temperatures will drop from the low 50s this morning into the mid 40s this afternoon and the mid 30s overnight.


Lingering showers could turn into a few flurries early Wednesday. By Wednesday morning we'll be dry and sunny by tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures remain cool in the low 50s. A quick cold front could bring a few sprinkles overnight Wednesday into early Thursday, but most of us will stay dry. Sunshine and building southerly winds will warm us into the low 60s by the end of the work week. A quick low pressure system Friday night will bring rain back to the forecast. We'll be partly cloudy for most of the weekend with temperatures hitting 70 by Sunday. Next week will start off warm before a cold front brings a chance of rain late Monday into Tuesday. That will drop highs into the mid to upper 60s through the middle of the week.
