It reached 64 degrees on Tuesday afternoon at the Rockford Airport. That was the wamest temperature since November 8th last fall when 70 degrees was the afternoon high. It is possible that some patchy fog could form tonight. The best chances for fog development will be off to the north and west of Rockford. There may be some lingering fog patches there through the early morning hours on Wednesday. Sprawling high pressure will give the Stateline 2 more days of fabulous weather for this time of year with afternoon high's on Wednesday and Thursday back in the 60's again with lots of afternoon susnshine. In fact, it appears as if, with a strengthening jet to our north on Thursday and a freshening westerly wind from out of the plains that it is possible for some 70 degree readings across parts of northern Illinois on Thursday. A cold front will approach the area on Friday increasing the clouds, and bringing our region a chance of showers in the afternoon. It will be rainy on Friday night. It will continue to be rainy on Saturday, and with colder air moving in rain will change to snow northwest of Rockford with accumulations possible Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. Even in the Rockford area and the rest of north central Illinois rain will change over to snow on Saturday night and linger as snow showers into Sunday. It will be a lot colder to start off next week.
