After yesterday gave us a bit of a break from 80-degree temperatures we will see much of the same stick around into today. Temperatures today will be slightly warmer thanks to more sunshine while conditions at the surface remain comfortable, calm and dry!
Heading into the next few days temperatures will slightly warm as an upper-level ridge will set in over the Midwest allowing slightly warmer temperatures to creep northward. By the beginning of next week temperatures will be summer like, however with the humidity thankfully!
Although temperatures will be slightly warmer, we won't have to worry about precipitation ruining outdoor events over the next week. As mentioned, humidity won't be the biggest concern as we'll see temperatures be summer like, but our atmospheric moisture will stay dry over the next week. Combine that with very weak upper-level winds, there won't be much forcing or lift available to create showers/storms.
This may sound great to some; however, the drought monitor for Illinois has begun to look a bit concerning as we've gone through the month. Luckily for Northern Illinois we've been able to receive some rainfall during the late summer however areas further south may feel bigger impacts with the dry pattern setting in.
