Warmer This Weekend



Another sunny and mild day is expected in central Illinois. Highs will once again hit the upper 50s.


Cloud cover starts increasing this afternoon, continuing to roll in overnight. Lows will stay mild in the low to mid 40s. Breezy southerly winds will bump Saturday's highs into the mid to upper 60s, but a chance at scattered showers builds in from the west. A quick wave of upper level energy will pop up showers and thunderstorms into Saturday night.


Sunday will dry out with some daytime sunshine and highs in the low 60s. Another burst of energy will bring rain Sunday night into Monday, with temperatures continuing in the mid 60s into early next week. Then, a very large upper level trough of low pressure will slowly move east toward the end of next week. That will keep showers and thunderstorms around through Wednesday night. A cold front on the back side of this system will drop highs into the low to mid 50s Thursday and Friday. Skies will clear into the weekend.
