Rainy start to the weekend

Low pressure will lift northeast out of the central Plains later tonight and move through central Illinois by Saturday afternoon.  Clouds will increase this afternoon with rain moving in during the late evening and overnight.   Temperatures today will rise into the middle 50s with a breezy southeast wind.

Showers will persist Saturday morning before coming a little more scattered during the afternoon.  Cloud cover will be plenty and that, combined with an east/northeast wind, will keep temperatures confined to the lower 50s.  High pressure will build in for Sunday, however, a few disturbances within the jet stream may keep some of the cloud cover around and possibly bring a few showers to the Stateline late Sunday night.  Rainfall totals will range from a quarter inch to half an inch.
