An Early Start To The Cold

Tonight will be our first shot at seeing some patchy just ahead of the official start of the fall season, but it shouldn't come as a total surprise if you know anything about the climate of the Stateline.

The first freeze of the season is when the temperature hits 32 degrees. As you can see on the map to the right, that usually happens during the first part of October for most of northern Illinois.

While this cool down might be happening earlier than normal, at least we're not in record territory. The record for Rockford's earliest first freeze of the fall season is September 13th, 1975.
