Rain Chance Increases Friday

Skies remain clear and dry for most of Thursday night, but clouds will be on the increase through Friday morning.  Moisture from the southwest will be pulled into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin through Friday morning, eventually leading to light rain by the afternoon.

Early morning hours should be dry, but light rain will begin to move in from the west between 10am and 12pm, becoming more widespread during the early afternoon.  Rainfall totals will remain light and likely under a quarter of an inch.  A cold front will move through Friday evening clearing skies during the overnight.  An even stronger cold front moves in Saturday morning bringing gusty North winds and scattered showers, possibly mixed with a few snowflakes, through the afternoon.
