More rain is in the forecast for parts of Illinois over the next several days. Not in the range of 4-to-8 inches like in some areas of central and southern Illinois last week, but still enough to get the rain gauge some work Wednesday into Thursday says meteorologist Richard Garuckas with Freese-Notis Weather. 

Sothern Illinois can expect anywhere from a tenth to a half inch of rain Wednesday into Thursday. Dryer weather is then expected for most of the state beginning Friday into the early portion of next week and temperatures should be warming into the low to upper 70’s, and possibly 80’s by later next week.
