This next work week won't be completely dry, but it will be drier than the last work week. The jet stream high up in the atmosphere acts as a pushing device for storm systems. Think of a cold front as a sail. If the sail is parallel to the wind it isn't going to move much. That was the scenario this last work week when we saw showers and storms every day. A frontal boundary moved into the area and just sat there.
This next work week we will see less rain, because the storm system set to move in for Tuesday and Wednesday will be perpendicular to the jet stream. The "sail" will be able to pick up the driving wind making it a much quicker moving rainmaker. -ADAM

Thank god. And thank god we didn't get any more rain in DeKalb on friday!
I agree with you on that one. I was live from Sycamore Friday at noon and some of the flooding going on along Highway 64 was absolutely incredible. My thoughts are certainly with those folks.
