June and July Outlook

Another warm up headed to the Stateline for Father's Day weekend with temperatures warming through the mid 80's to 90° by Sunday.

Temperatures fall into the upper 70's behind a cold front Monday night through the middle and end of next week. The cold front will be combined with a developing dip or trough in the upper levels in the atmosphere as an upper level low flattens the ridge. A ridge typically brings the warmth. While we stay on the cooler side, quite a bit of heat builds to the west.

But what about the rest of July? Well the Climate Prediction Center has issued it's latest July outlook, and the Stateline and really the rest of the country show trends that it will be an above average month. The darker shades correlate to a higher probability to see the above average temperatures. The average high temperature for Rockford  through the month of July is 84°. Though above average means we will see warmth, we will also pepper in some cooler days as well.
