Our next heat wave begins today! A Heat Advisory has been issued for most of the Tri-State from 11 AM today until 9 PM Thursday.

More sunshine and higher temperatures

Hot and sunny end to the week, chance of rain Sunday

We are starting the day with temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. We will climb into the mid 80s by about lunchtime before topping out in the upper 80s to around 90° this afternoon, which is pretty seasonable for this time of year. The big difference today is that our humidity is much lower than yesterday, so the heat index is not a concern.

We will climb out of the 70s and through the 80s this morning before topping out in the mid to upper 90s this afternoon. Although our high temperature will be very similar to yesterday’s, it will feel hotter due to higher humidity. Heat index values could get as high as 100 to 103°. The first half of Wednesday will be sunny, but we will see a few more clouds this afternoon and evening as that cold front approaches the Tri-State. A few spotty showers and thunderstorms may also pop up along that cold front, but not everyone will see rain today.

We are off to a mild start this morning with clear skies and temperatures in the low to mid 60s. Today will be another day of wall-to-wall sunshine, which will help our temperatures climb out of the 60s and through the 70s and 80s this morning. We will crack 90° by about lunchtime before topping out in the mid to upper 90s this afternoon. The good news is that the humidity is still tolerable, so the heat index is not a major concern today.

This weekend brought a nice break from last week’s extreme heat as our temperatures topped out at 84° both Saturday and Sunday, but the 90s return today! Our temperatures will keep climbing until a cold front brings us a chance of storms Wednesday afternoon and evening.

We remain on alert as this dangerous heat wave continues. An Excessive Heat Warning remains in effect until sunset Wednesday, but I have extended the Alert Day to also include Thursday as I think the heat and humidity will still be about the same.

We remain on alert for a dangerous heat wave through Wednesday. The entire Tri-State is under an Excessive Heat Warning or a Heat Advisory until sunset Wednesday.

We remain on alert for dangerous heat Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as temperatures will climb into the upper 90s to near 100° all three days with heat index values reaching as high as 100 to 115°. The entire Tri-State is under a Heat Advisory from 11 AM Monday until 8 PM Wednesday.

We are on alert Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for a dangerous heat wave. Temperatures will climb into the upper 90s to near 100°, but the heat index values will likely reach 100 to 110° each day.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for portions of southeast Illinois until 8 AM, but areas of patchy dense fog are possible in other parts of the Tri-State this morning as well. We are starting the day with temperatures in the mid to upper 60s in most locations. We will climb into the low to mid 80s this afternoon under partly sunny skies. An isolated shower or storm may be possible, mainly this afternoon and evening, but it looks like most of the rain will pass to our south and many of us will stay dry. I don’t think we will get as lucky Wednesday as a few showers and storms will pass through the Tri-State from northwest to southeast, mainly Wednesday afternoon and evening.

After a hot and sunny weekend, we have several chances of rain in the week ahead, and we are on alert for possible storms Monday afternoon and evening.

Sunday will be another mostly sunny, hot and dry day with high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. Monday is when our weather pattern begins to change as breezy conditions and rain return to the forecast.

After multiple days of warm, sunny weather, changes are on the way! We are on alert for possible storms Wednesday, which will be followed by a drop in our temperatures Thursday.

Tuesday will be sunny, hot and breezy. We will see increasing clouds Tuesday night, and rain returns to the forecast Wednesday. We added an Alert Day Wednesday to give you a heads up that disruptive weather may be possible.

Memorial Day and Tuesday will both be mostly sunny, although we may see a few clouds in the afternoon. Both days will also be a bit breezy with winds from the south-southwest at around 7 to 14 mph and gusts as high as 20 to 25 mph. That flow of warm, southerly air paired with plenty of sunshine will push our temperatures into the upper 80s to low 90s both days.

Sunday and Memorial Day will both be sunny and breezy. The wind will be blowing in from the south at around 6 to 12 mph Sunday and 10 to 15 mph Monday. On both days, we could see wind gusts ranging from 18 to 25 mph. That flow of warm, southerly air paired with plenty of sunshine will push our temperatures into the mid to upper 80s Sunday and upper 80s to around 90° Monday.

While we are not expecting any thunderstorms or severe weather today, a few scattered showers are still wrapping around on the backside of this large weather system, so rain will remain possible off and on throughout the day.

We are on alert again today as scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely off and on throughout the day. There is a Marginal Risk of severe storms today, which is a level one out of five on the risk scale. That means an isolated strong to severe storm may be possible, but widespread severe weather is not expected. Damaging wind gusts and very heavy rain are the primary concerns.

Monday will be partly cloudy with highs in the upper 60s to near 70°. Rain is likely and a few thunderstorms are possible Wednesday.

Tuesday will be another warm and sunny day, but we are tracking storm chances for the second half of the week.

We remain on alert for possible strong to severe storms tonight.

Tuesday and Wednesday will both be mostly sunny with record-breaking heat possible.

Our temperatures will surge through the middle of the week, bringing us the hottest stretch of weather so far this year!

Rain is likely late tonight into early Tuesday. A large portion of Tuesday will be dry, but isolated to scattered showers and storms may bubble back up in the afternoon as a cold front approaches our region, and a couple of those may become strong or even severe.

It has been a beautiful, sunny Sunday across the Tri-State, but more rain arrives Monday into Tuesday, and I have added a new Alert Day for the possibility of an isolated strong to severe storm Tuesday.

Sunday will be sunny and breezy with highs in the mid 70s.

Our temperatures will quickly climb out of the 30s, through the 40s and the 50s this morning. We will break into the low 60s by lunchtime before topping out in the upper 60s this afternoon under ample sunshine.

We have plenty of sunshine on tap all day today, but that will not be enough to overcome a cold wind from the northwest at around 7 to 14 mph with gusts around 20 mph. Our temperatures will only make it into the upper 50s to low 60s this afternoon. A Frost Advisory has been issued for most of the Tri-State from 3 AM to 8 AM Wednesday.

Rain is likely this morning, drying out this afternoon and evening. Much cooler with highs in the 60s through the middle of this week. 70s return this weekend, but so do rain chances.

Sunday will be another warm and breezy day, but rain is likely Sunday night into Monday, and cooler weather will follow.

Rain chances and warmer weather both return Wednesday.

Cool and sunny Tuesday, big warm-up by the weekend

As we head into the evening, scattered showers will move in from the west, and rain is likely overnight. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 50s Monday and Tuesday, but we will climb into the low 80s by the end of the week!

Easter Sunday will be partly cloudy, cool, and a bit breezy at times with highs in the mid to upper 50s. Most of the daylight hours will be dry, but scattered showers will move in from the west late Sunday afternoon and evening.

Our threat of severe weather has been upgraded to a Moderate Risk, which is a level 4 out of 5.

We remain on alert for storms both this evening and again Wednesday evening, but Wednesday will be the bigger threat.

Rain returns to the forecast later tonight, and we are on alert for storms both Monday and Wednesday.

There are big changes on the way in the next few days! After a cold and frosty start, Sunday will be mostly sunny, breezy, and about 20° warmer than Saturday! I have added Alert Days for possible storms with gusty winds and heavy rain both Monday and Wednesday.

I hope you got outside and enjoyed the sun today because we will not see much sunshine the rest of the week. In fact, there is at least a slight chance of rain every day Monday through Friday as we are tracking three low pressure systems that will impact the Tri-State.

After a cold and frost start, Sunday will be mostly sunny and warmer. However, that sunshine will be short-lived as we have at least a slight chance of rain every day Monday through Friday thanks to three low pressure systems.

Temperatures will dip below freezing again tonight, but there are big changes on the way! Our temperatures will climb into the 70s by the middle of this week, but I have also added an Alert Day Wednesday for possible gusty winds and strong storms.

Sunday will be another cool and mostly sunny day, but we have a big warm-up on the way by Wednesday, and it comes with a chance of storms.

Sunshine returns this weekend, and much warmer weather arrives next week, but it also comes with a chance of storms.

Cool and breezy weather continues, but sunshine returns this weekend!

A few very spotty showers are still possible this evening and into the night, but most of us will stay dry. Another round of light, scattered showers will wrap around on the backside of this system Thursday, mainly from about midday through the afternoon. These mostly cloudy, cool and breezy conditions are here to stay for a while. We have spent most of today in the 50s, and we will slowly fall back out of the 50s and through the 40s this evening, bottoming out in the upper 30s to around 40° by the end of the night. We will spend the first half of Thursday climbing back through the 40s, topping out in the upper 40s to low 50s Thursday afternoon. Winds will remain from the southwest at around 10 to 15 mph with gusts as high as 20 to 30 mph overnight and throughout the day Thursday.

Rain will remain likely through this evening, then it will become more scattered overnight and into Wednesday morning. Most of us will get a break from the rain during the second half of the day Wednesday, but an isolated shower will still be possible. Another round of showers will then wrap around on the backside of this system Thursday.

Rain and cooler weather are on the way, and we are on alert for possible heavy rain and flooding Tuesday.

Breezy and warmer Monday with highs in the low 70s. We remain on alert for possible heavy rain and flooding Tuesday.
