It is a bit of a gloomy start this morning, but with a high pressure system building into the north west, it will turn our winds northerly. This will bring in cooler and also drier air which will help to erode away the cloud cover this afternoon. Overall temperatures today will be about 10 degrees cooler than the average high for the first of July. If you are kicking off your celebrations early and are heading out to fireworks tonight, you'll want a blanket with you as temperatures will be falling into the mid and upper 50's and bottom out Saturday morning in the low 50's.
Sunshine will bring temperatures to near 80° on Saturday afternoon and humidity stays fairly low. Clouds will thicken on Sunday as a low pressure system lifts into central Illinois through Monday. Highs Monday will also reach 80°, but there is potential for it to be a bit warmer. However, easterly winds and more cloud cover will keep temperatures closer to 80° while heavy rain will stay south of the Stateline and I-80 through the holiday weekend.Enjoy the nice weather this holiday weekend and stay safe!
