Big Shift In This Week's Weather Pattern

After record breaking temperatures to start to the week, the weather is going to pull a major 180 as we head closer to the weekend. The major culprit will be an area of low pressure that will pass to our south Thursday and Friday. As you can see, we'll be on the north side of the storm system, which means cooler temperatures over the coming days. The worst will be on Friday, as a combination of showers and northerly winds will keep highs in the upper 50s.



The one upside to this system is it will bring us some much needed rain. As of right now, this May is the second driest in Rockford history.












The other upside is the weekend forecast. As rain chances move our late Friday, we will see warmer and drier air move in for Saturday and Sunday, with highs eventually warming back into the 80s.
