Temperatures climbing this weekend with scattered thunderstorm chances

 With a relatively comfortable day passing yesterday, we got a bit of relief from the 90-degree heat that has stuck around for nearly the past week. Since last Friday, 5 of the last 7 days have been at 90 degrees or above! We won't hit 90 degrees today however heading into tomorrow we look to see those temperatures return. Before that though, cooler conditions this morning has brought fog to some locations.

Temperatures this morning are in the low 60's with dewpoint temperatures not far behind! Because of this, isolated dense fog will be possible this morning as seen out at our Rochelle Sky track camera around 5:10 a.m. We'll see a warm front lift through the region this morning though clearing fog cover as temperatures warm!
As mentioned above, temperatures will increase through the weekend as today we'll remain pleasant once the fog clears with temperatures getting into the upper 80's! Tomorrow temperatures continue to warm, and with a weak disturbance moving in late a few scattered showers/thunderstorms may be possible into the evening and overnight hours.


High pressure today will help keep things calm with plenty of sunshine; while tomorrow depending on the timing of the disturbance we could see a few showers into the evening with higher chances coming along the cold front into the evening.

With warmer temperatures tomorrow, higher humidity will also be in place which will help instability develop as well into the evening. Although we won't see the strongest shear to "organize" thunderstorms, if any develop tomorrow a few damaging wind gusts may be possible along with heavy downpours at times. This threat looks to remain scattered through and higher chances for severe storms remain to our North and West.
