Despite the cloud cover Sunday afternoon temperatures warmed into the
low to 60s, officially reaching 65 degrees in Rockford. Showers and
isolated thunderstorms, however, will continue to move in from the west -
with a few showers/storms already moving across northwest Illinois.
None of these storms are expected to be severe, but some of the stronger
ones could produce pea sized hail. However, lightning is becoming less
and less which means most of what is expected tonight will be just a
chilly rain.
The rain will continue through Midnight, likely lasting through 3am or
4am Monday morning. As colder air quickly flows in behind a strong cold
front, a few light snow showers may mix in for parts of the Stateline
just before sunrise Monday. Northwest winds are already increasing
behind the front, gusting to 35 mph in eastern Iowa. Winds will
increase through the overnight, into Monday morning, and could gust as
high as 45 mph during the early afternoon.
A Wind Advisory has been issued for all of southern Wisconsin and for
northern Illinois beginning late Sunday night and lasting through most
of Monday. Northwest winds are expected to increase as the cold front
passes, peaking during the late morning and early afternoon.
Temperatures Monday will only warm into the low 40s, but it will feel
more like the low 30s through much of the afternoon.
