Temperatures won’t be in the 70’s for the rest of week or likely for the rest of month, but there won’t be too drastic of a change with daytime highs. Many areas of Illinois hit record high temps Monday, but a more normal weather pattern is returning to the state says Freese-Notis meteorologist Dan Hicks.

Hicks sees an up and down temperature pattern in December, averaging closer to normal with precipitation running a little below normal.
