Temperatures are going to be unseasonably warm this week with some rain on the back end of the week ahead.

Rebekka Delanay with the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio she is anticipating rain mid-week and then returning for the weekend.

As we get to Halloween next week, Delaney says we're going to see a cold front roll in and it is going to significantly cool things off as we get ready for the night of 'trick-r-treating'.

November is showing trends to average temperatures with above-average rainfall, easing the drought that is developing through much of Illinois.

We'll hear more from Delaney in the days ahead on Regional Radio.
