Freeze warning in effect for some, frost likely Sunday morning

Saturday begins with the first of many chances for the Stateline to see frost. 

A FREEZE warning is currently in place for Carroll, Jo-Daviess, Stephenson, and Whiteside County in N. Illinois as well as Green County in S. Wisconsin until 8AM this morning. 

 

 

Today also begins with plenty of sun, with clouds building in for the afternoon. This, along with a chilly breeze out of the northwest will limit afternoon highs to the upper 40s. Though winds won't be as strong as they were yesterday, gusts up to 25-30 mph will be possible throughout the day. 

Expect clouds and surface winds to decrease into the overnight hours, allowing temperatures to land at or below the freezing mark of 32°. This will allow the likelihood for frost Sunday morning. Again, if you planted any sensitive vegetation early, cover them or bring them inside before you head to bed!

Sunday will be the more enjoyable day of the weekend as clouds won't be an issue. Temperatures will be noticeably warmer in the upper 50s. Frost will once again be a possibility Sunday night as lows dip back into the mid to upper 30s. The limiting factor, a light wind out of the west-southwest! 

Afternoon highs will continue to climb into early next week as winds remain out of the southwest. This will bring highs back into the low 60s Monday.
