SPRINGFIELD — Did someone say, “Rain, rain, go away?”
It’s likely to do that, if only for the blink of an eye, officials said.
“Tuesday will be dry for most of the day but a little cooler,” said Mike Kunz, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
Expect a high in the upper 40s Tuesday, said Kunz, with temperatures climbing to the lower 60s by Wednesday, and up again still to the lower 70s by Saturday.
But the rain will make its return by the weekend, with a possibility of showers by early Friday and Saturday.
The thunderstorms might have sounded threatening, but the result was relatively tame, said Dick Groeber of Dick’s Weather Service.
Groeber measured about an inch of rainfall Monday afternoon, a steady accumulation since about 9 a.m., he said.
“The good thing is we didn’t have too much of a wind to it,” he said.
FirstEnergy Corp. reported there were fewer than 500 people without power in any community in Clark or Champaign counties as of 6:24 p.m. Monday.
