Mild Weather Continues

The official high today at the Rockford International Airport was 43 degrees. This makes it the 6th day in a row that our high temperatures reached 40 degrees or above. That's mighty impressive for December standards, especially when the normal high for this time of the year is closer to 33 degrees.

As we take a look at the next few days, we still have two more days of this mild weather pattern with high's in the low 40's before December makes an appearance right before the weekend. Temperatures will cool down closer to seasonable with high's in the low to mid 30's throughout the weekend.

Then we should expect a slight increase in temperatures for the start of next week leading up into Christmas. For Christmas Day, expect mostly cloudy skies with a high of 37 degrees. That is just a few degrees above the normal high of 31 degrees. And sadly, the chance of us seeing a white Christmas in the Stateline region are very slim. If we do experience any precipitation in the next week, it will likely be in the form of rain.
