(WAND WEATHER) - Many hometowns across Central Illinois woke up to rain Thursday morning.

We even heard a few rumbles of thunder.

It's been almost two weeks since we saw more than one-tenth of an inch of rain.

A sun and cloud mix today will push highs back into the mid-70s.

As a strong cold front moves through this evening, it'll become breezy and a few more showers are possible.

Much colder weather is in the forecast for the next couple of days.

Highs Friday and Saturday will be near 60°.

Overnight lows Friday will drop to around freezing (32°).  Frost is likely and a freeze is still possible north if lows drop into the 20s.
