It was as perfect of a weather weekend as one could ask for in central Illinois and while the nice, warmer than usual air is going to hang around for a short while longer, things will change quickly later this week.

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio News cold air from the north is going to move in with some passing rain and cooler temperatures.

For the remainder of the week, the above-normal temperatures will linger but later this week it's going to cool off preceded by rainfall.

Looking ahead, Shimon indicates we're looking for below normal temperatures. He says the lows shouldn't be too far below average but highs will be below normal and don't expect to see much sun either.

Shimon says as we transition to December, the above normal temperature trend could return. He says trends are showing warm air returning for December and even possibly into January.
