3-8-18 Illinois Forecast: Rather dry pattern ahead…a few showers south Friday through the weekend. N.

Video (4 min):

Good Thursday morning!  

Should see a decent amount of sunshine today, but temperatures will remain very chilly.  We will watch a disturbance tracking across southern Illinois Friday afternoon/night which may bring a few showers mixed with a few snow flakes.  Not looking like a big deal.  Showers will linger across far southern areas through Saturday morning, but otherwise we should be dry with more sun the further north/east you are.  Perhaps a few additional rain showers in the south or west Sunday, but it does appear most of the state will stay dry.  

Temperatures will moderate a bit over the coming days, with the warmest day coming Saturday.  Generally staying below normal.   Temperature loop from today through Sunday shown below:

Rather dry pattern ahead!  Southern areas get clipped with showers this weekend, other-wise no precipitation until the end of next week/ following weekend.
