Record High Tied Wednesday

The high temperature Wednesday soared into the low 60's for some in northern Illinois.  In Rockford, the high reached 62 degrees, which tied the previous record of 62 degrees set back in 2016.


Not only that, but today was the 3rd straight February 28th with a high temperature in the 60's.  On February 28th, 2015, the record daily low temperature was achieved when the mercury dropped to -16 degrees! 


Temperatures continue to fall this evening following the passage of a cold front.  Overnight lows dip into the mid 30's with rain moving in overnight.
