A Delightful Start to the Week

Canadian High pressure over Wisconsin will drop southward into Illinois overnight.  Skies will be clear, wind will be calm, and the temperature will drop into the upper 40's by daybreak.  There could be some patchy fog in low lying areas later tonight. The high pressure will move across northern Illinois into northern Indiana by daybreak on Monday.  The high will be the dominate force in Stateline area weather for the next few days.  It will be sunny on Monday, but with the center shifting off to the east, the wind will pick up from the southwest at 10 to 15 mph on Monday afternoon.  The high will be around 76 degrees on Monday with low humidity.... another fabulous day!  It will still be clear on Monday night, but it will not be as cold with a low around 53 degrees.  On Tuesday, with southwesterly breezes continuing under a sunny sky, the warming trend will continue with a high around 84 degrees.  On Wednesday northern Illinois will still be on the periphery of the departing along the east coast.  Skies will be sunny again, and with a persistent southwesterly wind, the afternoon temperatures will be pushed toward 90 degrees once again.  It probably will not reach 90, and my forecast is for 88 degrees, but 90 degrees cannot be ruled out with this pattern, and sunshine, and dry soils from the ongoing extreme drought across most of northern Illinois.  A cool front will move from northwestern Wisconsin and northwestern Iowa on Wednesday morning into the Stateline by 6 am on Thursday.  Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin on Wednesday night.  The front will slow down as a disturbance forms on the front just to our south on Thursday night contining chances of showers through Thursday night into Friday.  It will be cooler behind the front with afternoon temperatures dropping into the low 70's on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
