Friday morning weather update

A weakening line of showers and non-severe storms associated with our next cold front is bringing much needed rainfall to the Stateline. As of 4:30AM, rainfall totals range from .67" in Rockford to .1.16" up in Monroe to 1.57" in Savanna. 

If you plan to step out the door early, make sure to have the umbrella with you. Once this morning's rain clears out, coverage will turn spotty and light in nature. Cloud cover however is expected to hang tight for most if not all of the daylight hours.

The downward trend in afternoon temperatures continue with most peaking in the low 80s. Skies are to gradually clear around or just after sunset, which is great news for those heading to week 1 of high school football. This will also make for a cooler morning to kick off the upcoming holiday weekend as most look to in and around the 60° mark. 

High pressure settling in will result in plenty of sun from Saturday through Monday. The only exception, a few clouds early Sunday as a secondary cold front passes through the region. With this cold front, we're not expecting any precipitation. However, behind this frontal passage will be our next taste of fall which will help drop temperatures into Labor Day. Highs Saturday will be in the low 80s,  cooling into the 70s for both Sunday and Monday.
