Wednesday started off with plenty of chills as temperatures fell into the mid and upper 40s, but we were quick to warm thanks to an abundance of sunshine. The sunny sky didn't last long as cloud cover was quick to move in mid to late morning as a weak upper-level disturbance moves through eastern Iowa.
This disturbance brought with it a few light showers, now moving into west-central Illinois. We likely won't see much from this activity locally, but a sprinkle or very brief light shower can't be ruled out into the early evening as a few additional scattered showers are noted further to the northwest.
Once this disturbance moves out, we'll see partial clearing take place into the overnight. Temperatures tonight will be quite a bit warmer than what they've been the last few nights, only falling a degree or two below 60. This can be attributed to an increase in cloud cover early Thursday and a southwest breeze that'll take us into the morning.
By morning, scattered showers - and perhaps an isolated thunderstorm or two - will be possible. As the cold front slides across the region an isolated shower and/or storm can't be ruled out during the afternoon. Rainfall totals won't be much and should remain under a couple tenths of an inch. Drier conditions can be expected for Thursday night.
