Spring may just be here for good.

As we embark on a weather week that is trending above normal. Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln says we could see some mid-week rain but then it's back to beautiful springtime weather

All indications point to spring finally arriving. Shimon says to give even more evidence we may have turned the corner, we're trending above normal for temperatures for the rest of the month, and we've started the month well below normal for temperatures.

According to Shimon, the rest of April and May are looking wet. It leaves him concerned for farmers and the time they will need to plant this year's crop.

The positive spring outlook is setting up what could be an ideal summer. We'll hear more from Shimon later this week and next week on the outlooks for summer in Illinois.
