Bye Bye Warmth!

Sunday Conditions
Hopefully you didn't get used to that mild air around the Stateline because temps will be falling fast as we head into Sunday.  Saturday's high of 42° was the warmest we've seen in over 3 weeks since a 52° temperature reading recorded back on December 4th in Rockford.  A cold front digging through the upper Midwest will bring some light snow showers Sunday morning ending around lunchtime and will leave a dusting to a half inch of new snowfall on the ground.

But again, the bigger story is the temperature plunge on the back end of that cold front--we dive into the teens by late afternoon.  By Monday morning, temps will bottom out below zero with a pesky northwest wind causing chills to feel like -20° to -25°! So, we're talking dangerously cold air as we head into next week with frostbite occurring on exposed skin under 30 minutes. - MT
