We've been a little spoiled in the Rockford area so far in April. We've had three days with highs in the 70s and two days with highs in the 80s. April 3rd and today were the only days that were anywhere close to normal... The high on April 3rd was 59. And while today's high of just 50 degrees is 5 degrees below average, tonight's pre-midnight low will probably be somewhere near 40 degrees, which is actually 6 degrees *above* average. The net result will probably be a seasonal April 7th in the record books.
Even colder air will wrap around a departing area of low pressure tomorrow. Highs will only be in the 40s with a good chance of rain mixing with or changing to SNOW during the early morning hours. Since the ground is warm and actual air temperatures will likely stay just above freezing, accumulation will probably be an inch or less... and only on grassy surfaces.
YUCK!!!
