Most of the activity looks to stay to our west over Illinois. Highs will reach the upper 80s. Our best chance for showers and storms arrives on Sunday. An area of low-pressure building over the northern plains will lift moisture northward over the Tri-State. The moisture will materialize in the form of showers and thunderstorms, on-and-off through the day. Some of the storms on Sunday may be strong but the severe weather threat remains low.

Showers and storms will gradually taper off after sunset. Highs on Sunday will remain cooler, only reaching the low to mid 80s.

With progress comes convenience but also nefariousness. It seems every form of new technology developed to make our lives easier can also be manipulated to make our lives, in some cases, a nightmare. And because of identity theft, even more new technology must be created--and rather quickly, too--to counteract the behavior of bad actors.
