Temperatures Monday afternoon warmed into the upper 60's and low 70's, officially reaching 71 degrees in Rockford. It was the second time this month the temperature reached 70 degrees and it doesn't look like it will be the last.
Cloud cover has slowly been increasing Monday evening as an area of low pressure spins through Kentucky. Light showers have been moving northwest over Indiana and Illinois Monday afternoon and could reach parts of north-central Illinois during the overnight and early Tuesday. We need the rain as precipitation has fallen below average for the month of April. We've received just a little over one inch of rain but should be up close to two and a half inches.
Rain chances are limited this week, only arriving Tuesday and Thursday. Thursday will be the best chance for measurable rainfall with the arrival of a cold front late Thursday evening and Thursday night. The forecast remains dry through the weekend with temperatures warming into the mid and upper 70's by early next week.
