The upcoming Labor Day weekend is expected to be very warm as we usher in September. 

It's a trend that shouldn't last long says Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service who believes the heat will shift south and create a battle of developing tropical storm systems and make for equal chances of above or below-normal temperatures.

Shimon explains the whole outlook for September indicates equal chances of above or below-normal temperatures and precipitation.

Shimon notes, El Nino continues to develop and should have an impact on central Illinois and the midwest this winter.
