Temperatures Tuesday warmed to the upper 30's, with even a few spots reaching 40 degrees! The warmth will continue to spread northward Wednesday and Thursday. But with the warmth comes the rain.
The heaviest rain looks to fall Thursday evening into early Friday morning. That's when most of our accumulating rain will take place. As for rain totals, many will be nearing half an inch of rain by sunset Thursday, with possibly another half an inch - up to an inch - occurring Thursday evening and overnight.
If you're traveling Wednesday, locally it will be cloudy. There will likely be drizzle and even a few lighter showers around, but accumulations are not expected to be much. Traveling Wednesday night, fog could be more of an issue with overnight lows only falling to the low 40's.

| Thanksgiving Day |
Thursday will be rain for northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. But further north in Wisconsin or west towards Iowa a wintry mix will greet you. Possibly with some minor ice accumulation west of Des Moines, IA. So travel with caution on Thanksgiving if you'll be west of Illinois.
For all you Black Friday shoppers, you will need the umbrella and rain gear. With the heavier rain and extra traffic on the roads, be careful driving. Skies will dry through the afternoon Friday and Saturday. Then our next potential weather-maker moves in late Saturday night and Sunday.
