Warm Wednesday

Calm winds and sunny skies will bring a beautiful middle of the week. Highs this afternoon are expected to reach the upper 70s and low 80s. An approaching low pressure system will increase cloud cover by tonight and add on a chance of rain by early Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms will continue through the day tomorrow. A few strong to severe storms are possible, with large hail and damaging winds as the primary threat. Showers continue into Friday. Rain totals with this system will likely around an inch widespread, heavier where stronger storms set up. A few lingering sprinkles could stick around on Saturday, but most of us will dry out for the weekend. Temperatures begin dropping after today, sinking to the low 60s by Sunday. Good news is, Mom should see plenty of sunshine for Mother's Day. Sunshine will help spark a warming trend early next week. We'll see highs in the 70s and low 80s by Wednesday.

Warm Through Midweek

Sunshine will warm highs into the mid to upper 70s this afternoon. Look for clear skies and calm winds overnight to cool lows into the low to mid 50s. A few clouds will build in by Wednesday afternoon, but highs will still reach the upper 70s and low 80s. A low pressure system begins bringing storm chances Wednesday night, lasting us into Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will cool into the upper 60s by the end of the work week. The weekend is looking dry, but even cooler. Highs by Mother's Day will only reach the low 60s. Next week will start off sunny and warmer, with highs in the low 70s by Tuesday. However, another storm system moving in next Wednesday will bring rain chances back to the forecast.

Mild Monday

The low pressure system from this weekend continues to churn to our southeast. This will keep cloud cover and a few isolated sprinkles with us today. Highs will still reach the low to mid 70s. Some clearing is possible overnight with lows in the low to mid 50s. Partly cloudy skies stick around with warmer temperatures into the middle of the week. Highs Tuesday and Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 70s. A series of upper level waves begin moving in Wednesday night. We could see showers and thunderstorms building in then, lasting through the end of the week and into the weekend. Temperatures will only reach the mid 60s by Saturday. Sunshine returns for Sunday and Monday, warming temperatures into next week.

Showers Thinning Out

Showers Thinning Out

Off and on showers have been the main focus for tonight.
A Cut-off low pressure system is sagging across southern Midwest bringing wrap around showers
into CI.

Most of the energy to fuel showers will fizzle out overnight and stay down to the south.

Still can't rule out an overnight showers or two and again early morning Sunday otherwise, Sunday's
clouds begin to thin out in the morning hours and set CI up for a mostly clear afternoon!

Temperatures Sunday look to be a degree or two below normal but winds out of the NE teamed up with sunshine will help keep things nice!

Pretty nice for the first half of the work week but another bout of rain sneaks in late Wednesday night and lasts through the weekend. 

Widespread Rain

A slow moving low pressure system will bring light to moderate showers all day. Highs will only reach the upper 50s this afternoon. Expect slightly warmer highs in the southeast. Cloud cover and rain stick around overnight, keeping temperatures steady in the low to mid 50s. The low pressure system will take a southward turn on Saturday, lightening up our shower activity. However, we're still looking for scattered rain into Sunday. We'll see about 1-2" of rain widespread.

Highs this weekend will warm into the low to mid 60s. Conditions will begin drying out early next week, with sunshine warming highs into the low to mid 70s through Wednesday. The end of the week will bring highs in the mid 70s, but we're tracking another storm system that could bring rain back to the area.

Cool & Rainy

A slow moving low pressure system will gradually work in showers and thunderstorms for our Thursday. Temperatures in the west will only reach the mid to upper 50s, though highs in the southeast should approach 70. Showers continue overnight with lows anywhere from the low 40s to the low 50s.

On Friday, the low pressure system will take a turn to the west. That will keep moderate to heavy rainfall around for another day. Highs into the weekend will only reach the upper 50s and low 60s. Saturday and Sunday are looking rainy as well. Between Thursday and Sunday, we could see rain totals between 2-3" widespread. River levels could be impacted by the rainfall as the soil remains saturated. For now, it looks like the rain will at least slow the rate of recession.

By Monday, we'll start slowly drying things out with temperatures warming into the low 70s by Tuesday. Next week is looking mostly dry with highs staying at or above normal.

One More Warm Day

Southerly winds and sunshine will warm us back into the upper 70s and low 80s today, but our pattern is about to change. Cloud cover will increase tonight, with a few isolated storms moving in by Thursday morning. Lows will drop back into the mid to upper 50s. A very slow moving low pressure system will slide in tomorrow, bringing rain chances through the rest of the week and into the weekend. We may even see a few scattered showers early next week. Temperatures will be cooler, only reaching the low to mid 60s as this pattern moves through. We'll start drying things out and warming things up by the middle of next week. Highs should at least reach the low 70s by next Wednesday.
