It was nice seeing some sunshine this morning and early afternoon, but a mid-level trough moved in to bring us cloud cover and isolated showers. This kept temperatures in the low 60's in Rockford, while other areas got to see sunshine a little bit longer, bringing them to around 70°. Don't worry though! Much warmer temperatures are on the way for Rockford.
The isolated showers will stay with us through the early evening hours. Some of these will produce heavy rain, but mostly we'll just be seeing lighter rainfall from these. The showers will start moving out after 7pm, and afterwards we stay dry for the overnight.
As we head into the overnight our skies will be clear, and with the combination of cool air moving in from the north and the rain-cooled air, temperatures will cool off quickly, hitting the low 40's by 10pm, and dipping into the mid 30's during the overnight.
A high pressure system will track down from the north to keep the colder air moving through our area, keeping us in the mid 50's for Saturday, but we'll still get lots of sunshine. However, during the overnight Saturday night temperatures will dip below freezing in a few spots, so patchy frost will play a role, so keep that in mind if you've got plants outside.
Once we reach Sunday this high pressure system will still keep our skies sunny, but it'll track slightly to the southeast, allowing for warmer air to track in, bringing us into the upper 60's for teh end of the weekend.
Once we get into the work week our temperatures will warm up even more as warm air continues to push in from the south with an approaching low Monday and Tuesday. This will start a warming trend that'll allow us to be in the mid to upper 70's through all of next week.
