The cold front opens the door for a cooler air mass to rush in, but the front stalls across central Illinois and Indiana on Monday, keeping extra clouds around. Expect a dry day to start the work week, but temperatures will only top out in the upper 60s.

An upper-level disturbance will head toward Chicago Monday night into Tuesday, bringing rain, especially east of Interstate 55 and into Indiana.
