Scattered showers will affect the region around lunchtime on Friday before clearing for a warm, dry weekend.

Scattered showers and occasional thunder are forecast for Friday around lunchtime across northern Illinois and the stateline region. Most areas should receive between 0.10 and 0.25 inches of rain, with the wettest activity occurring as an upper-level disturbance moves overhead. The system poses no risk of strong or severe weather. Rain is expected to clear by 2pm to 3pm, with mostly clear skies returning by evening.

Friday night will remain mild with temperatures cooling only to the upper 50s, aided by a southerly breeze. High school football games will see pleasant conditions with temperatures in the lower 60s by halftime. Clouds from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias, which is making landfall in the Florida Panhandle, will begin moving in later on Saturday.

The weekend will bring summer-like warmth to the region. Saturday will see highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, with southerly winds gusting up to 25 to 30 mph in the afternoon. Sunday will be slightly cooler with highs in the 70s, though still well above average for October. No rain is expected through the weekend, making it ideal for outdoor activities.
