As a brief warmup and midweek rains pass through Illinois, more moderate temperatures are expected coming up.

Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln indicates there were some initial severe weather concerns with some of these rains but as we finish out the week, temperatures are going to be very seasonable.

Shimon notes that the June outlook shows an above normal trend for temperatures and an equal chance of above or below normal precipitation.

According to Shimon, the average temperature increase in June is a mix of the days getting warmer, but the nights not getting as cool. Weather officials are watching the expected heat out West that could impact the Midwest.

While not completely out of the woods for severe weather, Shimon notesthat  severe weather tends to be more hit and miss in Illinois in June.

The tropical storm season begins in June. There have already been some tropical storms starting to form this month.
