If you are going to be out and about for Black Friday shopping festivities, rain will be around from Northern New England through Ohio and Indiana, back into the Southern Plains and South Texas. Behind the rain, some ice and freezing rain will be likely as temperatures will be colder and will support the frozen precipitation across Northern Texas into Western Oklahoma and Kansas. Other than this storm system, which extends from Canada to Mexico, the remainder of the country looks to be dry. It will be much colder across the Northern Plains, but it will be mild across the Southeast.
Closer to home, the rain moving through Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin this evening will continue to fall through the night, sometimes falling moderately to heavily. There have been a few isolated reports of thunder and lightning, but that will remain isolated at best. The cold front will move through the region by later this evening and winds will turn to northerly, dropping our temperatures through the 40's overnight. By the time we wake up on Friday, temperatures will be in the upper 30's and the rain will become more scattered. Therefore, if you are heading out to shop tonight, take the umbrella with you. If you don't plan on being out until after sunrise tomorrow morning, dress warmer as temperatures will be nearly twenty degrees colder, but the steady and heavy rainfall will be coming to an end.
The skies will remain mostly cloudy through the day with isolated showers possible, especially south of Rockford. It will also be a very chilly day as temperatures fall through the middle 30's by the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are looking much nicer with plenty of sunshine expected, but it will remain chilly with high temperatures in the upper 30's on Saturday and lower 40's on Sunday.
