First Killing Freeze this Weekend

Hopefully you got to go outside and enjoy a very nice day yesterday, because today will be anything but. It will be a blustery afternoon, with cloudy skies and high temperatures only climbing into the low to mid 40's. But it will feel colder, chills will be stuck in the 30's this afternoon as winds gust out of the west up to 30 mph.

It will be a chilly evening, with lows in the 30's and chills into the 20's by tomorrow morning. As an upper level low moves into southern Wisconsin, its possible for an isolated shower or light mix by early tomorrow morning, but not accumulations will occur. We'll copy and paste Friday's forecast into Saturday, highs in the low 40's with cloudy skies. Winds will stay gusty out of the northwest, up to 30 mph, making it feel like the 30's through the afternoon.

The bigger story this weekend though, will be falling temperatures Saturday night. A reinforcing push of cold air arrives Saturday night, which will push temperatures into the upper 20's by early Sunday morning. This would prompt our first killing freeze of the season. Right now, Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside counties are included in a Freeze Warning. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the Stateline gets added as we get closer to Saturday night.
