It's looking much more quiet over Rockford with our Mercyhealth Skycam. The thunderstorms, wind gusts, and heavy downpours are now out of our area. We'll continue to see rain during the overnight, but there will be much lighter rain showers. We can't rule out a few spots of heavier rain until 1am, but after that point it'll just be lighter rainfall. The lighter rain will stay with us through Sunday morning, before clearing out for the afternoon where we'll have very fall-like temperatures only hitting the mid 50's for our highs. Along with that, it'll be breezy with wind gusts looking to pick up to possibly 30mph.
Skies will stay cloudy during Sunday afternoon, but will start to clear up during the evening. Along with that, cold air will keep pushing into our area, and these two factors will allow for some frigid temperatures during the overnight Monday night....in the upper 30's! However, if you don't like the cold, you're in luck because the sunshine returns for the work week and temperatures will warm back up. There is a chance we could hit the upper 70's by the end of the week.
It'll be nice to get some dry time because we saw quite a bit of rain today, some locations seeing over 3 inches of rain! It's a good thing we've made up for the lack of rain we had last month, but localized flooding will definitely be a concern with how much rain we've seen.
Flash flood watches are in place across the Stateline until 4am Sunday. There are technically still two tornado watches in place in Carroll and Whiteside counties, but these aren't anything to be concerned with as the strong storms are now out of our area.
