Warmth Continues:
You couldn't have asked for a better forecast to ring in astronomical spring. Thanks to a beautiful sun-filled sky and a warm westerly to southwesterly breeze, highs Sunday soared into the low to mid 60s. Well guess what folks? Although we'll see a few more clouds in the sky today, highs will end up feeling more like mid-May than late-March!
The
second day of spring starts off dry, pleasant, and mild with
temperatures in the low 40s. A warm front is expected to lift through
the region by mid to late morning, allowing our surface winds to turn to
the southwest. This along with mixed sunshine will help highs peak near
the 70-degree mark! For those who are wondering, Rockford doesn't see
an average high around 70° until the middle of May. What I'm really trying to get at is ... open up those windows and spend time outdoors once your
school or work day comes to a close! Shortly after sunset, clouds are expected to thicken up as another storm weather system swings across the Midwest. 
Guidance shows a chance for rain arriving as early as the midnight hour, becoming more widespread by early Tuesday morning. With most of our Tuesday featuring the likelihood for showers, having the rain gear on hand will be a must.
The slow-moving nature of this storm system will allowing the chance for scattered showers to continue well into Wednesday. Due to the fact that we'll have plenty of cloud cover, the chance for showers, and a southeasterly wind, highs both days will land in the low 50s.
