The storm system that caused all that wind for the past 2 days is weakening as it moves northeast toward Hudson Bay in Canada. One last disturbance rotating around the low will keep skies mostly cloudy across northern Illinois this morning, but they should start to break up this afternoon. It will still be breezy, but not nearly as windy as it has been for the last two days. It will be cold, thouugh, with a high only in the middle to upper 40's. High pressure will take control of the weather tonight clearing skies and dropping temperatures into the middle 20's. Winds will continue to drop off and be in the 5 to 10 mile an hour range from the northwest overnight. It will be sunny and quiet on Friday with temperature recovering into the low 50's. The high will shift eastward during the day, and winds will go from light and variable in the morning to southerly 5 to 10 mph in the afternoon. The warmup will continue into Saturday with mostly sunny skies, and an afternoon high near 60 degrees. A weak front will stall out in the area on Sunday as low pressure moves from the plains across Illinois. Despite the fact there will be a front in the viscinity, and low pressure moving though, very little rainfall is expected because the Gulf of Mexico will be blocked by high pressure. The temperatures will drop off a few degrees on Halloween, but remain in the 50's on Sunday afternoon. High pressure will take control of Stateline weather again on Monday and remain in control, for the most part, for the rest of the week. No large changes in temperature are expected, with afternoon highs in the low 50's Monday through Thursday.
