High temperatures the last 6 days here in Rockford have climbed into the low 80s. Granted, the stretch did start with some rainfall on Tuesday and Wednesday. But after that, mother nature brought our the sun and kept thing warm and dry heading into the weekend.
Unfortunately, the streak comes to an end today. A cold front has slid through Northern Illinois this morning, ushering
in a slightly cooler air mass and gusty northwesterly flow.
The windy conditions starting off the new week will stick around through the rest of our Monday. Gusts through the morning and afternoon will climb to between 30
and 40 MPH at times. All of the
windy weather is thanks to a cold front that passed through Northern
Illinois. That same cold and a strengthening high pressure system over the Midwest is causing a tight pressure gradient at the surface. Wind gusts right now in a few spots are at or over 30 mph.
Aside of the windy conditions today, today will also feature mainly sunny skies and seasonably cool temperatures. Highs this afternoon will be in the low 70s. As that cold front continues to move farther away, winds will begin to subside,
especially this evening. High pressure will slide just south of the region,
which will lead mostly clear skies and light wind tonight. So if you are into stargazing, Jupiter and Saturn will be pretty close to the earth! Its going to be a beautiful night for that tonight.
