While Saturday started off with favorable conditions and mostly sunny skies, the weekend could end on a different note.

The rainfall could be a sign of what is to come in the coming days.

Here’s what to expect and when:

According to the NWS, high temperatures will be in the mid-80s. Scattered thunderstorms are possible, especially northwest of I-55.

As wet conditions persist Monday, rain and thunderstorms are possible, with a 40 to 70 percent chance. In addition to storms, torrential rain cannot be ruled out, according to the NWS.
