If you are utilizing the long holiday weekend to travel and visit family, the weather will cooperate for most of the time. Saturday looks favorable across a broad region, with continued influence from high pressure in the Midwest and Great Lakes. A few spotty showers will be possible across Iowa toward the late evening.
Higher coverage of rain will arrive Saturday night into Sunday morning with a passing wave. Highest moisture will remain South of Rockford, with steadiest showers across Southern Iowa into Central Illinois.
Sunday evening looks dry across the area again with high temperatures ranging from the 60s to the low 70s area-wide, except for those close to Lake Michigan. Monday may bring a few spotty showers to the plains, but this will primarily be South and West of Rockford.
If you're sticking around for the holiday weekend, expect similar temperatures over the next few days. Highs will reach the mid to upper-60s under a partly cloudy sky with dry weather favored locally Saturday and Sunday. Monday may bring an isolated shower or two primarily South of I-80 again. It is not unreasonable for temperatures to approach the 70-degree mark any of these days given more abundant sunshine than currently expected. It will be a favorable weekend for outdoor activities, just not quite as warm as one would expect during the "unofficial start to summer."
