Record High Set Today

A record high was set today at the Rockford Airport! The mercury hit 70 degrees at 3:13pm, beating the old record high of 69 set back in 1930. This marks the second day in a row that we've hit 70 or higher. A cold front will swing through the area tomorrow, but the full thrust of the cold air behind it won't quite make it here and highs will still be in the 60s. Our normal high and low for this date are 48 and 31, respectively.  --TS
