MARION, Ill. — Patchy fog lingered through early morning Friday, burning off by 8 a.m. as the sun climbed. The National Weather Service calls for sunshine and a high near 86, with temperatures settling to 84 by afternoon under light north winds from 0 to 5 mph. Nothing severe on the horizon.
Friday night stays clear and mild, low around 67, with calm winds. Saturday brings more of the same: sunny all day, high 87, light wind from the west-northwest. Sunday continues the calm stretch with clear skies and a high near 84.
This is straightforward summer weather for Williamson County—the kind of pattern folks here can count on. No thunderstorms building. No heavy wind. Clear and manageable. If you've got yard work or outdoor plans, this stretch gives you the window.
Watch the sky, keep the radio on.
