THURSDAY MORNING WEATHER DISCUSSION (08/01/2024)

(OLNEY/NEWTON) An approaching cold front will somewhat weaken as it moves into Illinois this morning and then crosses the state by later tonight. We’ll have our final round of rain and storm chances this afternoon and evening here in our downstate area with some lingering rain chances late tonight into tomorrow. Then we dry out for the weekend ahead with near normal temperatures and less humidity in place with more dry and warm weather conditions set for the first of next week. Stay tuned for weather updates and monitor a NOAA Weather Alert Radio for forecast details and possible warnings or alerts.
