Thursday Night Weather Update

After a windy and record breaking afternoon in Rockford (We hit a high of 93, tying the record set back in 2010), a lot of changes are coming our way. All of this is thanks to a cold front which is pushing through the Stateline this evening. The first thing we'll notice is quieter winds from the northwest behind the cold front. Here are winds as of 8pm.




The other thing we could see tonight with the passing of the front is the chance of thunderstorms. As of 8:30, things are still pretty quiet on the radar. A line of storms to our west has basically split in two, leaving most of the Stateline dry. Severe thunderstorms have stayed to the north in Wisconsin, leaving us with slim chances of seeing any strong storms this evening. If we do get some storm development, we could see some stronger winds with those cells. Rain chances tail off after midnight. Friday looks nice, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 80s.
