It was a chilly Wednesday morning in the Stateline as many woke up to widespread frost and temperatures below freezing. Rockford fell to an overnight low of 31°, its coldest temperature since April 25th!
It will be another cold night in the Stateline with light winds and clear skies. Again, many spots could drop below freezing, hence a freeze warning that is in effect for Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb counties from 1AM-9AM Thursday morning. Other locations are not included in the warning, as many spots there saw lows reach into the 20s, effectively reaching that hard freeze mark. Nonetheless, everyone in the Stateline should expect lows below freezing tonight.
Winds remain light through Thursday morning, promoting the frost potential overnight. But wind speed and gusts will increase through the afternoon as high pressure moves further away. This will bring a Southerly direction to the wind, aiding in our warmth over the coming days.
Thursday will feature high temperatures in the mid-60s with continued sunshine and dry weather. Though there will be a cool breeze from the South, it will be noticeably warmer than the previous few days.
High pressure brings breezy winds from the South over the next couple of days, but it also keeps us dry in the short term. We see limited moisture until at least the weekend, but most of the moisture we do see will flow up and over the high pressure, staying to the North. This keeps rain chances limited, but we will see a bit more cloud cover into the weekend.
The warming trends continue into the weekend as temperatures rise into the upper 60s Friday and mid-70s Saturday and Sunday. We will see similar sunshine on Friday but a bit more cloud cover rolls in by Saturday and Sunday. Our next chance for rain doesn't arrive until early next week.
