It was a windy day in the Stateline Wednesday, with more wind on the way. Winds could be even stronger Thursday, as a wind advisory goes into effect in the morning and lasts into the late evening. The advisory is out for counties along and East of I-39, including Winnebago and Boone Counties.
A cold front will pass early in the day, flipping wind direction to come more from the West than Southwest during the afternoon. Peak gusts could reach 40-45 mph at times, especially between late morning and mid-afternoon.
Temperatures will sharply fall behind the front, reaching the upper 50s by noon and 40s by the evening. Skies will gradually begin to clear following some morning showers, but that will allow temperatures to drop further. We will see overnight lows reach the mid-30s. Winds remain strong well beyond sunset, only calming to below 20 mph gusts after midnight. Make sure to have an extra layer for those trick-or-treaters!
Looking ahead to the first week of November, a much more favorable pattern for multiple rounds of rainfall looks to arrive starting Sunday. This will help close the gap on the growing rainfall deficits, as some locations may see well over an inch of rainfall.
