The wind has been quite strong Monday afternoon and evening, at times
gusting 40-45 mph. Rain came down early Monday as a cold front swept
across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, but skies were quick to
dry with sunshine making an appearance through much of the afternoon.
This helped to warm temperatures into the mid and upper 60s.
Cloud cover, however, has moved back in and temperatures continue to
tumble with most locations now in the low to mid 50s. Cloud cover and
strong winds will hold temperatures overnight in the low to mid 40s, but
wind chills by Tuesday morning will start off in the mid 30s.
Southwest winds will continue overnight, at times gusting 40-45mph
through sunrise Tuesday. Weak disturbances rotating around a very large
area of low pressure in the Upper Great Lakes Tuesday will keep
scattered showers around through the afternoon. A drier air mass will
move in Tuesday evening and this will briefly bring an end to some of
the shower activity heading into Wednesday morning.
Here are a few of the peak wind gusts from Monday afternoon: Rockford -
45 mph, Rochelle - 39 mph, Dixon - 38 mph and DeKalb - 38 mph.
