If you're planning to be outside this weekend, the weather should be more than ideal.

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln called this weekend a banner weekend.

According to Shimon, the last few days of May have been much cooler than normal. He explains the heat in the area has shifted, bringing cool air to central Illinois.

May has been cool and just below normal for precipitation. We'll have more on that with Shimon next week on Regional Radio.
