Skies will remain mostly cloudy overnight, and continue to be mostly cloudy on Monday. A disturbance passing well to the south of the Stateline will put our area on the northern edge of it's precipitation shield later tonight through late afternoon on Monday. Dry air continues to feed into northern Illinois from the northeast, and it is eroding precipitation as it comes in from the southwest. Radars are showing precipitation over northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin. Most of it is virga. Virga is precipitation that evaporates before it reaches the ground. As we go through the evening, dew points are expected to rise a few degrees, and that should allow some of the precipitation to reach the ground. It will be mostly cloudy and sprinkley on Monday. Any light rain that falls is expected to end by 6 pm on Monday evening as the are of low pressure causing the rain moves slowly off to the east. Weak high pressure will begin to take control, and with some strong May sunshine on Tuesday, temperatures will recover to near 70 degrees in the afternoon. A warming trend with lots of sunshine will be the weather senario for the rest of the week, with temperatures edging up a couple of degrees each day, and by the weekend it will be close to 80 degrees.
