Forecast models continue to show a frontal boundary lifting north towards I-80 this afternoon. If that front is able to push a little farther north than currently expected, it could provide enough lift for an isolated shower or thunderstorm locally. Otherwise, most will stay dry through the day with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. Afternoon highs remain seasonable, landing in the low 80s this afternoon.
For those heading to ByronFest or Tutty Baker Fest this weekend, the forecast cooperates. Rain chances remain low as high pressure settles into the region, bringing a mix of clouds and sun. While the weather stays largely dry, the heat will slowly begin to build back into norther Illinois. Afternoon highs are expected to reach the upper 80s each day, creating warm conditions for outdoor events. So while having a good time, drink plenty of fluids.
Looking ahead to next week, summer heat will make a noticeable comeback as a strong ridge builds across the northern Great Plains and the Great Lakes. This will allow temperatures to climb up to the 90-degree mark Monday, with several consecutive days of 90-degree heat possible until Thursday.
