Temperatures Monday afternoon wound up in the low 60s once again thanks to an abundance of sunshine but also a robust easterly wind.
Winds remain a factor in the forecast as we progress into the second half of the week. The reason, an area of low pressure diving to our south.
Easterly winds today will limit afternoon highs to the low 60s once again. Unlike yesterday, today's warm up will not feature a good deal of sun. As this storm system dives into the central plains, moisture filtering in will leave skies mostly cloudy.
We should stay dry for much of the daylight hours before showers fire up this evening. Forecast models focus the better and more organized chance for rain to the south and west of Rockford. The timing would be from 4PM to 12AM with precipitation totals possibly being as high as a quarter inch.
Conditions will then quickly dry out but stay breezy into Wednesday afternoon as this storm system slides into the Deep South states.
The position of this low will redirect our winds to the northeast and even bring them up a bit, with gusts up to 30 mph being a possibility. This cooler wind off of Lake Michigan will bring temperatures down a few degrees compared to today, landing most Stateline locales in the upper 50s.
