WSIL(Carterville, IL)-- Conditions this afternoon are calm and tranquil. We are seeing temperatures this afternoon in the upper 50s for the entire area. Skies are also mostly sunny, with winds between 5 and 10 miles per hour. 

For the rest of the afternoon and evening, we are expecting the mild conditions to linger. However, after the sun sets at 4:41 PM this afternoon, temperatures will begin to fall into the low 40s by 7:00 PM, but the slight northerly wind may make it feel more like the upper 30s. Skies will still be mostly clear, but cloud cover will slowly build in as the evening goes on. 

By 11:00 PM, temperatures will be in the upper 30s with a wind chill in the low 30s, and skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. Overnight, temperatures will fall into the low 30s, and we are tracking morning temperatures that will be near freezing, with a wind chill in the upper 20s. Skies tomorrow morning may briefly be clear around 7:00 AM, but cloud cover will be increasing and turning overcast by mid-morning. 

Skies will be overcast the rest of the day, but we will not see any rainfall. Highs tomorrow will likely be in the mid to upper 40s, and winds will be out of the north-northeast at 10 to 15 miles per hour. 

Temperatures will cool into the upper 20s for Saturday morning lows, and highs will be similar to Friday.

We are tracking the chance of precipitation early Sunday morning. While most of the precipitation will likely come in the form of rain, there is a chance that some sleet and snow could mix in. This will be a low impact event  locally. 

Once the precipitation stops Sunday, cold air will settle in, and high should only be in the low 40s to start the work week.
