Winds were a bit more intense Wednesday, gusting up to 40 mph in some Stateline locales. That was the 5th time in 12 days where the Rockford Airport came in with a peak gust of 30 mph or higher.
Fortunately, we'll see a break in the days to come as the system responsible for yesterday's gusty winds continues to push away from the area.
Winds today will be out of the west and northwest, light at 5 to 15 mph. That should bring temperatures down a few degrees compared to Wednesday, leaving highs in the upper 50s. With the departure of said system, conditions remain dry with much of the day featuring partly cloudy skies. We then look to fall into the upper 30s overnight, though clouds will be on the increase into Friday morning.
Much of Halloween will be dry, though the slightest chance for a sprinkle does arrive late in the afternoon into the evening. As of right now, this shouldn't steer you away from plans to trick-or-treat. Temperatures will peak in the mid 50s but then fall into the upper 40s during the evening. So it wouldn't be a bad idea for your kids to have an extra layer on as they fill up their bags with candy and sweets!
Saturday also features a slim chance for a sprinkle as the associated disturbance pushes through. Otherwise, expect a mostly cloudy sky with temperatures below early-November standards in the low 50s. Similar temperatures will be felt on Sunday, though we should see a little more sunshine.
