Rain returns overnight, lingers into Thursday morning

Did you catch this morning's beautiful sunrise? The sky was on FIRE thanks to a batch of high clouds coming off the system in the central plains.

Cloud cover will be a big part of today's forecast, though the daylight hours will stay dry. Winds turn breezy out of the east-southeast, pushing afternoon highs back into the low 50s. 


Forecast models then show rain chances increasing a little bit after sunset, with steady and potentially heavy rainfall passing through overnight into the first few hours of Thursday. Rain will turn scattered as the storm system itself tracks over northern Illinois. Chances then come to a close around or shortly after mid-morning, leaving conditions dry and mostly cloudy for Thursday afternoon. 

While tonight's rainfall won‘t be a drought buster, most of us could end up with between .25" to .75" of rain. In a similar fashion to today, temperatures Thursday will peak in the low 50s. High pressure sliding in will bring a bit more sunshine for Friday, with highs peaking in the upper 50s. Temperatures remain above-average over the weekend, also peaking in the upper 50s, close to 60°.
