WSIL(Carterville, Ill.)-- This morning, most of us are waking up to temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Once again, we are seeing a little bit of patchy fog close to the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Otherwise, conditions are mostly clear. 

Today, you can expect to see sunny skies once again this afternoon. Temperatures will gradually warm into the mid 50s by the lunchtime. Highs today will be in the upper 60s, and a few spots could reach the lower 70s. 

For any Friday plans, we are tracking temperatures that will be in the lower 60s, and by 9 or 10 PM, temperatures will fall back into the lower 50s and upper 40s  with clear skies. 

Skies tomorrow will be sunny all day. Morning lows will be in the upper 30s, and we will see highs tomorrow in the lower 70s. Sunny skies with highs in the lower to mid 70s will be with us through the day on Sunday as well.
