Another record high fell in Rockford Thursday afternoon as the
temperatures soared back into the mid and upper 50s, officially reaching
56 degrees. This broke the previous record of 54 degrees which was set
back in 1905. Not only did we break another record high, but
Thursday's high of 56 degrees was the fifth straight day where the high
temperature has reached 50 degrees, or above, which has never happened
during the second half of December!
It doesn't feel quite as warm, however, this evening as a cold front has
passed bringing temperatures down into the 30s. At one point Thursday
afternoon the temperature was 50 degrees in Rockford and only 36 degrees
in Freeport. Skies will remain cloudy through the night with highs
Friday afternoon warming into the upper 30s and low 40s.
The 50s will return for both Saturday and Sunday but will come with a
bit of rain, especially Saturday evening and night. As it looks now,
most of Sunday will be dry before a cold front moves through Sunday
evening. This will bring a chance for rain, and even light snow
showers, Sunday night and Monday of next week.
