Humidity drops in time for the holiday weekend

 Cloud cover has been a little pesky Friday afternoon, limiting many spots from warming into the 80s. Rockford's high reached 79° as of 4PM. Through the evening, our passing cold front will begin to clear out thick cloud cover, presenting us with mostly clear skies overnight. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50s, reaching a low of 58 in Rockford. Decreasing cloud cover will allow for great weather for our opening week of high school football!

This cold front will clear much of the low-level moisture out of the region, with dew point temperatures falling to the 50s through Saturday. A secondary front Sunday morning will only aid in the cool and comfortable trend, reinforcing a fall-like air mass for the holiday weekend.

The forecast for the weekend looks sunny and seasonably cool after Saturday, with high temperatures dropping day after day from the low 80s Saturday to the mid-70s Sunday and Monday. Perfect weather for any outdoor plans, as rain chances remain far away.

Afternoon highs will be seasonably cool, but so will overnight lows. Low 50s will be the trend through the early week for overnights. Great weather for opening the windows and getting some free A/C! Temperatures will then slowly begin to climb through the middle to end of next week, with highs reaching near 80° again by Wednesday and Thursday. Rain looks to be limited through the week, with our next chances not until the end of the week.
