Big Changes On The Way!

Good evening, and happy Memorial Day. I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the brave men and women who have served and fought for our freedom today. This has certainly been one of the hottest Memorial Day's on record, as we hit the lower and middle 90's again today, third day in a row of 90's. But, changes are on the way!


A cold front is working towards the state tonight, with a band of showers and storms across western Illinois...

This line should move across the state between midnight and 9am tomorrow, but this line will likely be weakening, so this won't be a big-time rain for many areas, but some areas could see up to 1/2". 


Sunshine and breezy conditions will resume for tomorrow afternoon, but it will feel a bit better! Highs will reach the middle 80's, with humidity dropping through the afternoon.


Wednesday looks GORGEOUS with sunny skies, and highs between 73-82. Humidity will be very low. Perfect yard-working conditions.


Changes will move in Thursday-Saturday, as a slow moving cut-off upper level low moves across the area, bringing widespread showers and MUCH cooler conditions. Rain looks to slowly work in later Thursday, and may stick around through early Saturday. Some thunderstorms are also possible in southern Indiana during this time, depending on the exact track of the system. Temperatures will also go WAY down during this time, only in the 60's and 70's for highs, with the coolest days likely being Friday and Saturday, when we may struggle to get out of the 60's! Yup, that's right! Here is the HPC rainfall totals for the next 5 days. This rain will be a BIG welcome, as things are drying out quickly!

Have a great rest of your evening!
