After a stretch of incredibly dry conditions and moderate temperatures, things should begin to normalize in central Illinois.

Perhaps there were hopes a very early harvest could take place in central Illinois with several days of temperatures in the 50s, 60s, and even 70s in some places, that is unlikely to be possible according to Chris Miller with the National Weather Service in Lincoln.

As we get into April and closer to that planting season, Miler anticipates still having normal temperatures but conditions remaining dry.

Miller explains this is what meteorologists call the transition season because the atmosphere is transitioning to the spring from the winter. He adds anything is possible this time of the year because it is so volatile.
