Central Illinois Forecast

Breezy and seasonably warm this week, with highs temperatures in the 60s or even low 70s in some spots. Temperatures trend much cooler by the weekend. The next chance of rain is Thursday evening into Friday as a cold front approaches, but rainfall amounts will generally be below a half inch (just a 10-20% chance of more).
