Mild to cold

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) – Mild weather will linger for another day ahead of our next cold front. Said front will kick up the wind Wednesday with gusts over 20 mph. Showers will dot the landscape with more north when compared to southern locales.

Colder weather will follow the Wednesday night cold front. The Wednesday morning low temperature will be very close to Friday’s high temperature. Gotta love Mother Nature, right?!

While a shower may develop in spots Thursday, the cold wind will be more memorable. Feelslike temps will be in the upper 30s to low 40s. Another freeze returns Thursday night and a couple more nights afterward.

Lake effect parameters will be met Thursday night into Friday, but the plume of precipitation will be aimed at areas east of I-57. While most will be in the form of rain showers, the first wet snowflake of the season may be had Friday morning.

Drier, brighter weather is expected with seasonable temps this weekend into next week. Stay tuned.
