Lots of Sunshine Through the Upcoming Weekend

April 2025 Review

Overall, our forecast remains pleasant, with lots of sunshine Thursday through Sunday and temperatures near to above average. Today will be a slight bump in the road, with chances (20-40%) of PM showers and an isolated thunderstorm possible. No severe weather is expected. Friday will start out on a cool note, with patchy AM frost possible in northern Illinois.

Looking back at the month of April, much of eastern IA, northwest IL, and northeast MO saw below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures. The exception was Cedar Rapids, where 1 heavy rain event on the 20th brought 2+ inches of rain. For more information see www.weather.gov/dvn
