Now that we have a snow-covered ground, clear skies, and light winds, temperatures will be allowed to drop very low tonight. Rockford will likely fall to near 3 degrees. Some areas could approach zero by daybreak Sunday morning. When a light breeze blows, wind chill values will be below zero throughout the night. Some of the wind chill readings could reach as low as -5F across the region, especially where the wind-prone areas are. There could even be wind chill readings slightly colder than that.
This will be the coldest night of the year thus far in terms of actual air temperatures and wind chills. Make sure you bring the pets inside and turn on the heat to ensure your pipes don't run the risk of freezing from the extreme cold. Temperatures on Sunday will only rise to the middle 20's despite seeing a decent amount of sunshine. We may struggle to see temperatures reach the freezing mark through Wednesday before a warm surge moves in just in time for Thanksgiving. But, with the warmer temperatures comes a chance for a moderate rainfall...right in time for the Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping.
