Autumn arrives later today. And weather observers say the cool weather makes it obvious. Temps are expected to climb slowly this week, reaching about 78 degrees on Friday.

And some good news is that after all the rain from last week and damaging weekend, there is no threat of precipitation the entire week in Central Illinois. The National Weather Service reports temps will remain seasonal.

Sunshine and temperatures around 77 degrees are also expected for the weekend.
