Couple chances for rain ahead, heaviest arrives Thursday

For the second consecutive day, the Rockford Airport saw a peak wind gust over the 35 mph mark. Moving forward, gusty winds take a break, though a couple of weaker disturbances will result in sporadic and at times steady rain chances.

 

 

 

Wednesday begins with some sunshine, though we can expect skies to cloud over towards midday as our next weather system approaches. Rain will be quick to follow, most likely arriving late in the afternoon and in a scattered fashion. Once rain begins, it’s likely to fall off and on overnight through Thursday evening, with the heaviest rain arriving as Thursday's morning commute gets underway.

In the end, most locales should wind up with .25" to .75". We do see a break in the precipitation Thursday night into early Friday morning, though another weak disturbance may bring rain chances back in to the equation during the day Friday. This activity would be more scattered in nature compared to the rain that takes place Wednesday and Thursday, allowing more dry hours to mix in. Afternoon highs remain in the low 60s until Sunday where milder air spills in, pushing temperatures back into the 70s.
