February 25

The pattern remains pretty zonal at 250 and 500 mb. Surface fronts are developing which could bring precipitation into the forecast areas later Wednesday evening. Forecast surface maps show this system moving across the area (just click on the box to advance the maps at the link). These appear to bring precipitation with them. It appears that a low level jet will bring moisture across the forecast areas, which looks to be a cause of cloudiness.

It appears that Wednesday will be fairly cloudy with a small chance of rain.

DeKalb: Overcast, Hi 42. Low 29. Chance of rain 30%. Winds 12-17 mph.

Alton: Mostly Cloudy, Hi 61. Low 44. Chance of rain 10%. Winds 5-10 mph. However, with the front, there is a chance of storms in the evening.
