Category 4 hurricane Helene made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida Thursday evening. Helene's remnants are set to slingshot towards the region, bringing slight changes in our weather pattern for Friday and also for the weekend.
Those changes are filtering in as we wake up this morning in the form of far-reaching high clouds. Expect there to be a lot more cloud cover, leaving skies mostly cloudy throughout the day. That, along with a rather gusty wind out of the northeast will leave afternoon highs in the upper 70s. Peak winds could range from 25-35 mph, with conditions staying breezy overnight and for week 4 of high school football this evening.
Saturday, skies will clear for some, especially those in northwestern Illinois. Those south and southeast of the Rockford area will remain under a blanket of clouds and also have a slightly higher shot for a few isolated showers. Temperatures are
likely to peak in a similar territory to today in the upper 70s. Some more clearing can be expected on Sunday as Helene's cloud deck slowly drifts away from us. Highs stay in the upper 70s, close to 80
° into early next week, though an approaching cold front will further cool temperatures down into October.
