That is not a statistic you want to hear when temperatures are supposed to be warming up. But the first 18 days of the month have been well below average. In fact, it's been the coldest first half of April on record for Rockford!
When factoring in the high and low temperatures from April 1st-18th, the average temperature was 33.9 degrees. That last time it was this cold for the first half of April was back in 1907, just two years after record-keeping started in Rockford!
High temperatures Thursday warmed into low 50's which was a vast improvement from Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures will continue to climb into the weekend and early next week, reaching the mid 60's by next Monday.
The overall pattern will change to a warmer one next week and that pattern may last through the start of May.
