High pressure over the plains pushed a cool front through the area late yesterday. It's effect on the weather has been minimal. Temperatures will be a little cooler than yesterday when the Rockford Airport topped out at an amazing 81 degrees. Today will be around 76, but that is still well above normal for this time of year. High pressure will move to Iowa today, and Illinois tonight. It will continue to provide sunshine to the Stateline right through Saturday. Very warm temperatures will return on Friday with a high near 80, and on Saturday it will reach the low 80s. The next chance of rain will be on Sunday. Temperatures will fall off a few degrees because of an increase in cloud cover, but it will still be warm with a high in the middle 70's. On Monday a low pressure area moving across the area will bring cooler air into the Stateline. Under mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers, the temperatures will drop back to more seasonal levels in the upper 60's. A cooling trend will last into midweek.
