Rain, Rain and More Rain

Last night we had a little bit of wintry mix, but since then it has been rain, rain and more rain.








Rain will continue to be the story throughout the day, and at points will be heavy. A few rumbles of thunder can't be ruled out. Winds will continue to be blustery with gusts topping 30mph. After today, temperatures plummet to end off 2018 and start 2019. Expect highs to be in the upper 20s and lower 30s.




We will end up some nearly 20° above normal this afternoon with highs expected to warm into the upper 40s to near 50°. It doesn't last long as we will be some 20° colder by Saturday.





So far we've picked up just shy of a half an inch of rain at the Rockford International Airport. We will only add to that total as we go throughout the day and into the evening hours.






So make sure you have your jacket and umbrella handy before you head out the door... or you might get a little wet.
