An Extended Spell of Delightful Weather for Northern Illinois Through Sunday

The cold air of recent days has finally exited the area. Temperatures reached the low 70's yesterday afternoon, and 70's will continue through Sunday. You can expect lots of sunshine too. This is really an excellent spell of weather for this time if year. There may be a few clouds later this afternoon as a wind shift line moves across the Stateline, but without much moisture available, there will not be any rain. The afternoon high today will reach 75 degrees. On Thursday it will be 73 degrees, and of Friday and Saturday it will be in the middle to upper 70's. An 80 degree reading cannot be ruled out. On Sunday a disturbance moving eastward out of the plains will increase clouds, and lower temperatures a few degrees to the low to mid 70's. As the low pressure moves though the midwest, there will be a chance of some light rain showers or sprinkles on Sunday night continuing into Monday.  The system will be clear of the area by Tuesday with a fresh high moving in from the plains.  So, Tuesday should be sunny to mostly sunny with a high temperature in the upper 60's.
