This Father's Day weekend will not feature the heat and humidity we typically expect in mid-June, but scattered showers may be possible from time to time. High temperatures may get close to 80 degrees Friday and Saturday, but that is still below the average highs of low 80s that is typical for mid-June. Sunday will be even cooler with widespread rain and clouds.
Friday evening is not rain-free either. A few stray showers may be possible mainly after 6-7PM across the area. While rain will not fall very hard, it may be enough to dampen the ground and the grass where it falls. There is also a very limited chance for a stray rumble of thunder, maybe around 10% during the evening. Be sure to have an umbrella handy if you are outdoors!
While Saturday will be dry, Sunday will bring a much broader chance for shower and a few embedded storms. A large-scale low pressure system will track along Central Illinois, bringing a lot of moisture with it. While we are on the Northern end, widespread showers and even some thunderstorms will be likely starting Sunday morning, lasting through much of the day. All told, a few spots may get upwards of an inch or more of rain between Sunday and Sunday night!
If you have any outdoor plans for Father's Day weekend, Friday afternoon or Saturday will be your best windows for activities. Scattered rain chances will move in by Friday evening and then more widespread rain arrives Sunday. Happy Father's Day!
