A surface high pressure lingers over the Midwest today into Monday.
Keeping us in a dry pattern for the weekend. Come Monday
afternoon, low end rain chances return to central and southeastern
Illinois. The greatest chance for rain in the extended is
currently Tuesday afternoon with a 40-50% chance of showers across
the entire CWA when a low pressure system is expected to pass

additional 20-30% POPs through the week, next week.

Temperatures stay below normal through the next 8 days. Normal

Illinois are in the upper 80s. The forecast highs are in the upper
70s to low 80s. The lows will be slightly below or near normal
starting tomorrow and lasting through the extended. Normal lows are
