It's been unseasonably warm this week in central Illinois but that is going to quickly change.

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Nicole Albano with the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio the unseasonably warm weather lately is thanks to a ridge of high pressure over most of the country keeping central Illinois with temperatures that feel like early September, not early October.

A cold front will move in and Albano indicates on Sunday, we'll see those temperatures really bottom out.

It is very dry in central Illinois right now and Albano says as the cold front moves through on Sunday, it will be very windy. She is concerned about field fires and other issues related to the dry conditions.

There's little indication any moisture could soon be on the way in central Illinois. We'll have more with Albano next week on Regional Radio.
