First Alert: Trending mainly warm, dry

(KFVS) - We’re starting the work week off with mostly-dry conditions, but it’s going to warm up.

We saw some partly cloudy skies today, with temperatures in the low 80s.

For this evening, Chief Meteorologist Grant Dade says we will see mainly clear skies and warm conditions. Later temps will slowly fall through the 70s.

Overnight, it will cool down to the upper 50s, low 60s and you should expect some patchy fog on your morning commute. Besides the fog, Tuesday looks sunnier with dry conditions warming up to the mid- to high-80s.

We are tracking some rain, potentially isolated thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday. These look to stay to our northern counties in southern Illinois, with dry conditions continuing for the vast majority of the Heartland.

Besides Wednesday and Thursday, the rest of the week looks warm and mostly sunny, with temperatures in the mid- to upper-80s.
