Good morning.... Canadian high pressure settled into the Stateline ovenight. The result was clear skies, light winds, and excellent radiation of heat out to space. Frost was widespread overnight across north central Illinois, norhwestern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin many areas saw the growing season come to an end with freezing and subfreezing temperatures. Rockford did not officially get down to freezing with a preliminary low of 36 degrees. Rochelle was the coldest with a reading of 29 degrees. Freezing temperatures were also reported at Freeport and Sterling. It will be a cool day today with the Canadian high remaining over the area, but there will be full sunshine and light winds making it a much more comfortable day than our area had over the weekend. Sunshine will be a major factor this week with a high pressure ridge building eastward across the area by midweek, and then holding in place through the weekend. The surface high will be slowly shifting southward and warming up. The net result for the Stateline will be temperatures warming into the low 70's by Wednesday and the middle 70's by Friday through the weekend. It could possibly reach the upper 70's on the weekend. No rain is expected for the next 7 days. Enjoy this beautiful fall weather.
