It should be a glorious weather weekend in central Illinois. 

Friday night is the kickoff of the high school football season and the weather will be ideal. Matt Barnes at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio News Friday on the WHOW Morning Show, Sunday will warm up a little bit but overall, not too bad for late August.

Getting into early next week, we could see some rainfall in central Illinois. We'll hear more from Barnes Monday as we get set to wrap up August.
