Minimal Rain and Cooler Weather this Week

After a steamy weekend and start to the work week with highs in the low 90's and upper 80's, Stateliners will notice a BIG difference this afternoon. A cooler air mass arrives from the north bringing with it comfortable temperatures in the mid 70's this afternoon. Also, a high pressure system currently in southern Minnesota will allow for lots of sunshine throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin today, and lowered humidity as well. This is due to winds moving clockwise around an area of high pressure, and with high pressure to the northwest of the area, this brings us north and northeasterly winds.

We get back into the low 80's both Wednesday and Thursday, but with that comes a chance for rain Thursday afternoon and evening. Showers and storms will develop ahead of the cold front Wednesday and Thursday. Rain and storm activity will remain west of the Mississippi Wednesday through the central plains. Thursday the cold front sinks into central Wisconsin allowing for a chance for showers and even a few storms in the afternoon and evening hours, but no severe weather is expected. This front brings highs back into the mid 70's by Friday afternoon.
