Searching for Rain...

Staying dry and warm for the next few days, but a few rain chances appear as we draw towards the weekend.

TONIGHT:  Mostly clear.  Lows in the middle 60's

TOMORROW:  Mostly sunny.  Highs near 90.

TOMORROW NIGHT:  Mostly clear.  Lows in the middle 60's

FRIDAY:  Partly cloudy with a few scattered showers & storms.  Highs in the upper 80's

SUNDAY:  Partly cloudy.  Highs near 90.

Quiet Midweek

Skies are already clearing out after a few scattered showers in central Illinois this morning. Look for sunshine and highs in the upper 80s this afternoon.

Thursday will end up looking a lot like today, but Friday will bring some changes. An low pressure system trying to slide in from the south will bring a chance at showers and thunderstorms to round out the work week. Another low will build in from the northwest on Saturday, keeping rain chances around for the beginning of the weekend. Temperatures will still reach the mid to upper 80s both days. We’ll start drying things out with highs in the low 90s on Sunday and Monday, before a few more possible storms next Tuesday. Temperatures will stay in the upper 80s and low 90s for much of next week.

Average Temps This Week

Average temperatures stick around for much of this week.

TONIGHT:  Partly cloudy.  Lows in the middle 60's

TOMORROW:  Mostly sunny.  Highs in the upper 80's

TOMORROW NIGHT:  Mostly clear.  Lows in the middle 60's

THURSDAY:  Mostly sunny.  Highs near 90.

FRIDAY:  Partly cloudy with an isolated shower or storm possible.  Highs in the upper 80's

More of the Same

Not much change is expected in the forecast over the next few days. Warm, but comfortable conditions continue today, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s through Thursday. 

We may see enough heat and instability to pop up a few isolated afternoon storms this afternoon, but most of us will likely stay dry for the rest of the week. 

A wave of upper level energy will change our pattern by this weekend. We'll start off with an increase in cloud cover on Friday, with a slight chance of storms building in by Sunday. Temperatures will still hit the low 90s through the weekend. Early next week, skies will gradually clear with highs still slightly above normal for this time of year.

Seasonal Temps, but Still Dry

Relief from the extreme heat, but not the severe drought over the coming days.

TONIGHT:  Mostly clear.  Lows in the mid 60's

TOMORROW:  Mostly sunny.  Highs in the upper 80's

TOMORROW NIGHT:  Mostly clear.  Lows in the lower 60's

WEDNESDAY:  Mostly sunny.  Highs in the upper 80's

THURSDAY:  Mostly sunny.  Highs in the upper 80's

FRIDAY:  Mostly sunny.  Highs in the upper 80's

Quiet, Comfortable This Week

A stationary front to our south is keeping a few clouds around this morning. Skies will quickly clear by this afternoon, warming highs into the upper 80s and low 90s. 

Conditions will stay quiet for much of the work week as a surface high pressure settles in. Look for sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 80s through Thursday. Our stagnant pattern will start to break up on Friday, bringing cloud cover and slight storm chances back to the area. A slow moving, weak low pressure system could keep scattered storms around Saturday and Sunday. Most of the rain will likely be in the southern parts of the area, with Peoria seeing little to no accumulation. Skies will stay partly cloudy into next week as highs slowly warm near 90 degrees.
