Southwest winds will once again ramp back up Friday as temperatures warm through the mid-70s. Wind gusts nearing 40 mph can be expected through the evening.
Clouds will stick around through the rest of Thursday evening as temperatures hold steady in the 50s. A combination of cloud cover and breezy south winds will keep overnight lows in the mid and upper 40s. An isolated sprinkle or shower can't be completely ruled out through the evening, but the better chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms will arrive during the overnight.
This will occur as a warm front moves in from the south, where temperatures are currently in the 70s. As the front lifts through southern and central Illinois overnight scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop, lifting north into the Stateline early Friday morning. Severe weather is expected to remain low but a few of the stronger storms will be capable of producing pea to even nickel sized hail through sunrise.
Once the front lifts north into central Wisconsin late morning and early afternoon temperatures are expected to rise quickly, reaching the mid-70s by the afternoon. Southwest winds will also increase, gusting as high as 40 mph through the afternoon and evening. Winds will remain gusty Friday night which will keep temperatures in the mid and upper 50s.
Temperatures for most will remain in the 60s Saturday afternoon but it'll come with a fair amount of cloud cover during the day. By late afternoon the front will move down Lake Michigan into northeast Illinois. This will cause temperatures to drop quite a bit east of the viewing area, but a few locations centered around I-90 could also experience a temperature drop with numbers in the 40s and 50s by evening. The front will slowly lift back north Sunday morning before a second cold front sweeps
