Fortunately we aren't talking about an Arctic blast this week. However, our Monday morning kicked off with slick & foggy conditions. It all has to do with the system that gave us a little wintry mix yesterday. All the moisture that was leftover was trapped underneath cloudy skies, which resulted in very dense fog this morning. Most if not all of the fog should taper off by the late morning, leaving our skies mostly cloudy.
With the cloudiness lingering, don’t be surprised to see some spotty
drizzle on your windshield this afternoon. Today will mark the 22nd straight day that Rockford will experience below average temperatures. The last day where we saw at or above average temperatures was back before Halloween, on October 27th. Highs today will climb into the upper
30s for most, so frozen precipitation shouldn’t be a concern with any drizzle that passes through.
All eyes then turn
to the system poised to bring a wintry mix late tonight into
early Tuesday morning. Our next system dives into the High Plains from southern Canada and eventually into the Midwest by this
evening. The first half of our night remains mostly dry, before this system moves into the Stateline around the midnight hour. This even looks to start out as a mix of rain, snow, and some sleet, as temperatures hover around freezing (32°). As the warm front responsible for precipitation lifts, whatever is
falling should transition to all rain by sunrise tomorrow. Little to no snow accumulation is expected, but plan on yet another slick morning commute. The leftover light rain showers should taper off by mid-morning, allowing drier conditions to take over for the remainder of our Tuesday,
with some peeks of sunshine possible by late in the afternoon.
