Now this was one fabulous day. Our area had gorgeous blue skies, light northwesterly winds, and low humidity. The temperature was a few degrees below average with most afternoon highs across the area in the middle 70's. The reason for this beautiful weather was a sprawling Canadian high centered over Nebraska. With the high to the west the Stateline has a light northwesterly wind flow. The area is likely to see the coolest temperatures overnight that we have seen since last spring. It appears likely that the lows tonight will be in the upper 40's across northern Illinois, eastern Iowa, and southern Wisconsin. The record low for Rockford for tonight was set back in 1963 at 45 degrees. Saturday will be a mostly sunny day with a few more clouds in the afternoon. The high will be in the comfortable upper 70's, which is a few degrees below average for this time of year. A weak cool front will drop southward into central Wisconsin on Saturday night. It will generate some light showers over Wisconsin. On the front will dissipate, but a weak disturbance associated with the remnants may cause some light rain showers across the Stateline. It will be partly cloudy, and the high temperature will be in the middle 70's on Sunday. There is a slight chance that showers may linger into the evening. The rest of Sunday night will be partly cloudy with a low in the low 50's. It will remain comfortable on Monday under partly cloudy skies that may yield a stray light shower or two. On Tuesday the center of the Canadian high will shift well to the east, the Stateline will begin to warm back up with southerly winds coming back across the area. It will be sunny with a high around 80 degrees. A gradual warming trend will take place during the rest of the week under partly cloudy skies. By the time we get to Friday it will be warm with a high in the middle 80's.
