(WAND) - The record warmth from Monday is a thing of the past.
A strong cold front that moved through Central Illinois last evening brought gusty winds and falling temperatures.
Â
Highs today under a sun and cloud mix will be around 40° and we'll drop into the 20s tonight.
Â
Warmer air pushing northward Wednesday morning could bring a period of freezing rain to Central Illinois and it only takes a light glaze to make roadways slick.
Â
By afternoon, it should be warm enough for all rain for many of us except maybe across the far north.
Â
Rain is likely Wednesday night with a few rumbles of thunder possible.
Â
Temperatures drop during the day Thursday as the rain moves out.
Â
Another wintry mix is possible Friday night and early Saturday before it changes over to rain during the day.
