.KEY MESSAGES...

- No significant weather is anticipated across central Illinois
  over the next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Saturday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

A cold front analyzed on the 19z/2pm surface map extending from
Wisconsin into eastern Iowa will drop slowly southeastward this
evening...spreading a band of low clouds into the area. While the
boundary layer will remain dry, enough synoptic lift will be
generated along the boundary to support a few sprinkles. Several
CAMs including the HRRR suggest this as well...so have added
sprinkles to the forecast for most locations north of the I-70
corridor this evening into the first part of the overnight hours.
NAM RH profiles/soundings indicate decreasing moisture across the
western KILX CWA overnight. Thanks to clearing skies and light
winds, it appears fog will develop where rainfall occurred earlier
today. CAMs are in excellent agreement that the fog will primarily
be confined to locations west of the Illinois River...and may
become locally dense further west along/west of the Mississippi
River where rain was heaviest. Overnight lows will range from the
middle to upper 40s in the Illinois River Valley to the lower 50s
elsewhere. After some lingering cloud cover in the morning, skies
will become mostly sunny across the board by Saturday afternoon
with highs topping out in the lower to middle 70s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Next Friday)
Issued at 218 PM CDT Fri Oct 10 2025

The extended forecast will be dominated by quiet and dry conditions.
Temperatures will warm well into the 70s to around 80 degrees
both Sunday and Monday before another weak cold front passes and
brings slightly cooler readings in the upper 60s and lower 70s by
Wednesday.
