| A stormy Saturday night & Sunday morning? »
Hot today, but not tomorrow!
Why did it heat up today? A storm that is dropping south through Illinois is acting like an Alberta Clipper. When these systems go by to our north we get into a zone of westerly downsloping winds ahead of a cold front. Look below to see the drawing that Jamie and I worked on together. Yeah, we need to keep working on our artistic skills.

As the surface low moves through Illinois the cold front will swing across us drawing some cooler air into our region Friday.
The chances for thunderstorms will be going up beginning, perhaps, as early as Saturday.

Hey Gary,
How are the rain chances looking over the weekend? How much rain are we looking at if it rains?
Thanks

Kinley,
It is a very tricky forecast, which I talk about in the blog entry I just posted. No rain until Saturday night at the earliest.

How early or late in the day do you think thunderstorms may start forming in our area? BTW, your weather forecasts blow the other stations away! :)
Elysabeth,
The earliest it would rain would be after 6 PM Saturday night. More at 10 PM tonight as we look at new data, and I talk about it in the blog.
