THE BLOCKING PATTERN CONTINUES OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE UNITED

CENTRAL IL, UP IN CANADA, THIS WEEKEND WITH A COLD FRONT SITTING OFF
TO OUR W/NW. SOME HIGH CLOUD COVER AT TIMES IS EXPECTED FOR TODAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL THIS WEEK. HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S, NEARING 80 IN SOME PLACES LATER IN THE
WEEK. LOWS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK WILL BE IN THE UPPER
40S TO LOW 50S. THEN WILL WARM TO THE MID TO UPPER 50S FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. NORMAL HIGHS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS

CPC'S 6-10 DAY, 8-14 DAY, AND WEEK 3-4 OUTLOOKS ALL SHOW ABOVE
NORMAL TEMPERATURES. DRY WEATHER WILL LAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD AS WELL.
A WEAK SHORTWAVE PASSAGE THROUGH CENTRAL IL HAS BEEN TRENDING LATER
IN THE WEEK OVER THE LAST FEW FORECAST CYCLES. NOW IT LOOKS TO PASS
THROUGH ON THURSDAY, POSSIBLY BRINGING SOME LIGHT SPRINKLES NEAR AND
NORTH OF THE IL RIVER VALLEY. HOWEVER, IT COULD PASS WITHOUT ANY
ACTIVITY DUE TO HOW DRY OUR AIRMASS IS.
THE NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR ANY RAIN IS MORE LIKELY TO ARRIVE THIS NEXT
WEEKEND, JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES. A STRONGER
SHORTWAVE APPEARS TO PULSE THROUGH IL SATURDAY/SUNDAY NEXT WEEK,
BRINGING A 40-60% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS. AMOUNTS ARE FORECAST TO BE
PRETTY MINIMAL, BUT THERE IS TIME FOR THIS FORECAST TO CHANGE.
TIMING/LOCATION/AMOUNTS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT AS WE MOVE
CLOSER. TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED WITH FUTURE
FORECASTS.
