It's been a beautiful start to the weekend as there almost no clouds in the sky, with temperatures only reaching the upper 60's to low 70's across the Stateline area. We keep the clear skies this evening, but temperatures will cool quickly and you'll need a light jacket again as we'll hit the upper 50's around 8pm. Temperatures will be in the low to mid 40's during the overnight tonight, and we could see some patchy fog early tomorrow morning.
The end of the weekend is looking to be wonderful with partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 70's for Sunday afternoon. Afterwards, temperatures will start to warm up again going into the work week, as a low pressure system will develop out in the plains and bring some warm air into our area. Luckily, the summer heat is only expected to last one day, which will be on Tuesday as highs will get into the mid 80's.
That low pressure system will bring a cold front through our area during Tuesday night, bringing some rain during the overnight. After the front moves out we'll see our temperatures dip back down into the 70's for the rest of the week.
We have a few rain chances next week to start out the month of October. Another low pressure system will move in at the end of next week, and bring us some more rain in addition to the rain on Tuesday. This is great news for us because we're in desperate need for rain. We built a huge deficit this month, only seeing half an inch of rain, when we were supposed to see over 3 inches of rain. The U.S. Drought Monitor has us classified as abnormally dry, with areas of Boone, McHenry, and Walworth counties being classified as Moderately Dry.
Even though we're in quite a deficit, the start of October will point us in the right direction.
