After a pretty wet week in central Illinois, scattered rain chances are going to persist for another week.

On the WHOW Morning Show Friday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told the Hart Media Group this week's rain dropped up to three-quarters of an inch of rain in some places.

According to Shimon, chances of rain are going to persist this weekend, with it remaining pretty humid.

Next at the Hart Media Group, we'll hear from Shimon on those persistent rain chances through the week, the outlook for the ten days of the Illinois State Fair, the fall outlooks, and much more.
