Near-record temperatures are going to be short-lived in Illinois as more seasonable conditions return heading towards the weekend.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, James Auten at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional the jet stream is shifting north creating very warm weather for this time of the year in Illinois.

As we cool down overnight, there is a slight chance of rain but things should be very pleasant the next several days, remaining dry for the next seven to ten days.
