New Record Low Wednesday Morning

Extreme temperatures and wind chills Wednesday morning brought temperatures down as low as -27 degrees in some locations throughout the Stateline, with Rockford officially tumbling to -25 degrees.  Wind chill values were as low as -56 degrees in some spots with gusty West winds. 

A new record low temperature was set in Rockford, breaking the previous record low of -19 degrees set back in 1966.  Record low temperatures will likely be reached Thursday morning with the low expected to tumble all the way down to -30 degrees.  Not only could this break our daily record low temperature, but also the all time record low temperature for Rockford which is -27 degrees set back on January 10th, 1982.
