Late weekend storm might not be all rain

Once our next weather maker passes Friday night, the attention will then shift to another storm system expected to move through late in the day Sunday.  As it looks right now the low will likely track through central Illinois during the evening Sunday keeping us on the cool side of the warm front.  An easterly wind at the surface will help hold temperatures down into the middle and upper 40s during the afternoon.  Most of the precipitation should fall in the form of rain with the possibility of stronger storms to the south.  When the low passes on Monday, however, there may be enough cold air wrapping in on the backside to once again deal with a rain/snow mix by Monday night. 

Now I know you're thinking - "why are we talking about snow when it's going to be April"?  Just remember this, it's still possible to see the white stuff in April.  After all, April averages a total of 1.4" of snowfall!
