(WAND) - Central Illinois will enjoy a couple of very warm February days.
Highs today will reach the upper-50s with winds approaching 40 miles-per-hour and it'll be breezy and even warmer Friday with highs in the low-to-mid-60s!
Â
Isolated showers are possible this afternoon and evening, but the better chances of rain will be across northern Illinois where some of the storms could become strong to severe.
Â
After the very warm Friday, we'll see a better chance of showers and maybe even a rumble of thunder Friday night and early Saturday as a cold front moves through the area.
Â
It'll be breezy and cooler this weekend with highs in the upper-40s Saturday and low-to-mid-40s Sunday.
Â
By Monday, a weather system passing to our south may graze the area with a wintry mix of rain and snow. Â
