It was a downright blustery day in the Stateline Sunday with wind gusts nearing 40 mph at times. Temperatures only briefly reached the low 60s, but much of the daytime hours were spent in the 50s. This is much more like late-October than early October!
That cool stretch lasts a few more days, with high temperatures only reaching the mid-50s Monday and Tuesday with continued cloud cover and even some isolated showers Monday afternoon and evening. Wednesday brings some frost early on, but more sunshine by the afternoon.
With very cool air and an upper-level low spinning up to our North, we may see a few of those isolated showers close by Monday afternoon and evening. Best chances look to be in Southern Wisconsin and East of I-39. Whatever rain does fall will not amount to much, with less than 0.1" for most.
Cool afternoons translate to downright cold overnights, with many low temperatures in the 30s this week. We have a good chance to see our first frost of the season Tuesday or Wednesday night, with overnight lows in the low 30s and light winds with high pressure overhead.
If these cool days are making you think of the changing leaf colors, I have good news! Typically, the area sees peak fall colors around mid to late-October, so we should be seeing those colors become more vibrant over the next week or two! One of our weather watchers, Ed sent us this picture of some colors peeping from near Dixon! If you want to send us your fall photos to get featured on air, send them via the First Warn Weather app!
Luckily, the cooler stretch doesn't last very long, as surface and upper-level winds flip to come from the South and Southwest mid-week, returning high temperatures to the 60s and low 70s through next weekend.
