Light Showers Thursday Evening - Higher Rain Chance Friday Night

Light rain showers are slowly moving in from the southwest Thursday evening as an upper level disturbance moves through the Midwest. As the rain moves into northern Illinois it will encounter a little more dry air overhead, causing most of the shower activity to remain light. Scattered showers are expected through the overnight.

A cold front stretching through the Plains Thursday evening will slowly move east during the day Friday, crossing the western Great Lakes by Saturday morning. Scattered showers will become more likely during the day Friday as cloud cover increases, but shouldn't stop temperatures from warming into the low 60s.

A cold front will move through late Friday night with showers, and even an isolated thunderstorm or two. As the cold front passes Saturday morning, high pressure will move in for the afternoon. This will bring temperatures down into the low to mid 50s Saturday, upper 50s for Sunday. Rainfall totals across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin should remain around a quarter of an inch, or less through Saturday morning.
