Get used to hot and dry weather.

That is the message from the National Weather Service in Lincoln and Tuesday on the WHOW Morning Show, meteorologist Chris Miller indicated Illinois is right in line with the typical figures for 90-degree days and we are going to see the hot and dry prolonged weather arrive earlier than normal.

Miller describes the midwest as being under a big bubble of warm air that will not move. He says all the moisture is way up in the northern midwest and into Canada.

According to Miller, the weekend could offer greater chances of rain Friday and a very nice weekend with temperatures falling to the 80s before warming back up next week. 

Tuesday morning Miller also discussed how the widespread dry weather is impacting drought conditions in Illinois. We'll have more on that later this week on Regional Radio News.
