Almanac

--STORM TEAM 15 FORECAST--

A warm front moving in from the plains will move eastward through the day on Saturday bringing an increase in cloud cover and chances for showers during the day on Saturday.  So far, the rains appear to be an "on-again, off-again" situation with them being "off" more than "on."  Chances of rain, though, will increase as the day continues.

As it looks now, Sunday and Monday will see a greater chance of rain showers and possible thunderstorms.  A low pressure center located to our northwest will slip southward into mid Illinois later Saturday night to increase our chances of rain/storms into early Sunday.

Meanwhile an incoming warm front from the southwest will move north-eastward into the region to pick up where the previous weather system left off.  That means we'll see more rain/storms for later Sunday and into Monday-Memorial Day as well.  

We could see breaks in rain/storms from time to time, but overall Sunday and Monday looks to be quite wet.  Even beyond the weekend, Tuesday looks to be wet too, with dry conditions expected through next Friday.

One positive note will be the slow warming trend which will take our temperature readings into the low 80's by Tuesday and the mid to upper 80's by Thursday and Friday.
