Lincoln, IL – The National Weather Service in Central Illinois reports that while a few light sprinkles or showers will pass through parts of the region this weekend, most areas will remain dry until early next week.
Forecasters say Saturday will stay cloudy, with highs in the upper 50s to near 60°F and lows tonight dipping into the mid-40s. A few sprinkles or light showers may develop across portions of Interstate 72, though measurable rainfall is not expected.
