Sun-filled skies Monday afternoon warmed temperatures into the low to mid 60's, with Rockford officially reaching 66 degrees. This was the warmest temperature since the 10th of October when the high that afternoon reached 72 degrees. That was also the last day the temperature was above average. Highs since then have been below average, with some days nearly 20 degrees below average.
A cooler air mass arrives following a cool front Monday night and will push temperatures into the 50's through the rest of the week. Average highs should be in the upper 50's, to near 60 degrees. High pressure will remain in place over the Great Lakes keeping skies clear through the end of the week. By Thursday evening a dip in the jet stream will help push temperatures back into the upper 40's and low 50's through the weekend. Rain showers will also be possible Friday, Saturday and Sunday while a larger storm system takes aim on the East Coast.
