It has been a pleasantly mild week in central Illinois and the nice weather should stick around until Friday.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service told Regional Radio a shift in the polar jet stream is keeping temperatures this week very nice. 

Shimon indicates we could see a stretch coming up with more mild weather. He points out the short-term outlooks appear very favorable for temperatures. 

Coming up with Shimon in the days ahead on Regional Radio, we'll highlight next week's 'Severe Weather Preparedness Week' as well as a look at what could be a rather soggy spring. Shimon also put a bow on February on the Morning Show on Wednesday as well.
