Central Illinois – A stretch of fair weather will settle in across Central Illinois this weekend, with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures climbing to a few degrees above normal. Today’s highs will range from 75°F to 82°F, setting the stage for a pleasant start to the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will see similar conditions with mostly sunny skies and highs between 76°F and 81°F. The mild, dry weather will be ideal for outdoor plans, as residents enjoy the sun before a low-pressure system moves into the region.
However, Monday will bring a shift in conditions as scattered showers and thunderstorms develop across the area, with a 40%-80% chance of storms. The storms are expected to increase in intensity, bringing rainfall and gusty winds, so Monday could see travel disruptions. Highs on Monday will range from 70°F to 80°F.
With fair weather this weekend, it’s an excellent opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities, but be prepared for the unsettled conditions that are expected to move in early next week. Storms could last into the evening, so keep an eye on local weather updates.
