WSIL (Carterville) -- A cold front that passed through yesterday not only brought some much needed rain, but some chilly temperatures as well. Highs are below average for most of us, even with all the sunshine, as temperatures climb in the mid 60s.

It's still breezy with winds out of the north, but it's calmer than what we've been dealing with.

Into tonight, we'll stay clear and dip down into the upper 30s. Patchy frost is possible in parts of southern Illinois by Thursday morning as winds finally begin to relax.
