A Couple of Nice Days to Start Off the Work-Week

The thunderstorms that rolled through the Stateline overnight into the morning hours have left some areas with localized flooding for the second overnight in a row. A weak cool front is settling southward across Illinois tonight. High pressure over Minnesota will cause skies to become partly cloudy along with a light north wind. Because of all the moisture left over from recent heavy rains, areas of fog will develop late tonight through the early daylight hours on Monday. Some of the fog could be locally dense. The fog areas will burn off fairly quickly on Monday morning leaving the skies sunny. It will be a little less humid on Monday, and afternoon temperatures will top out in the upper 80's. High pressure will slide from Illinois on Monday night to southern Ohio by Tuesday morning.  It will be clear overnight, and mostly sunny on Tuesday.  With the high to our east a warm front will begin to approach from the southwest, and dew points will start to rise again.  High temperatures will be in the upper 80's again.  The front will make very little progress northward on Tuesday, but it will start to get more of a kick overnight into Wednesday morning. There will be chances of showers and thunderstorms from time to time from Wednesday through Friday.  If recent past experience follows the same pattern, the best chances will be with overnight convective complexes that have the potential of producing severe thunderstorms and more heavy rain with this juiced up atmosphere.  Daytime temperatures will be in the upper 80's to the low 90's, and dew points will be in the mid to upper 70's producing afternoon heat indexes close to 100.  Next weekend looks like it will be sunny to mostly sunny and very warm.
