Rain To Hit Town Tuesday Night

The hot Easter weekend is expected to give way to showers this week as two weather systems move through the area.

According to the National Weather Service, a partly sunny Tuesday with a high near 68 degrees will serve as the lead-in to rain brought in by the first system sometime before midnight.

On Wednesday, forecasters predict showers throughout the day, at times heavy. The temperature is expected to peak at about 59 degrees.

By Wednesday night, the rain should clear out for a brief respite. Forecasters predict that the sun will return to Lake Forest on Thursday, with temperatures inching up near 61 degrees.

On Thursday night, however, a slight chance of rain returns, as do the accompanying clouds, as the second weather system moves in.

Weathercasters predict showers for Friday, with a high near 58 degrees dropping to 47 degrees by nightfall.

A chance of showers remains Friday evening and Saturday, with the remnants of the weather system drying up by Saturday night.

As the weekend wraps up, forecasters predict Sunday temperatures will warm up into the mid-60s.
