Coldest air of the season to arrive after Thanksgiving

Though it was rather chilly day with highs failing to reach late-November standards, sunshine finally graced our skies Tuesday. In fact, Tuesday's 40% cloud cover is the lowest average at in Rockford been since November 11th (16 days ago). 

Cloud cover returns quickly for Thanksgiving Eve, though a few peeks of sun cannot be ruled out from time to time. Temperatures will end up near-average this afternoon, reaching the low 40s. 

Despite there being lots of clouds today, precipitation chances remain extremely low. Travel impacts will be highest downstate, closer to St. Louis and the portion of I-70 that runs into Indiana. Thanksgiving even looks quiet, though we keep a mostly cloudy sky and also see cooler temperatures. 

 

 

A cold front surging in this evening will set the stage for the coldest air of the season to filter in. This will leave highs in the mid 30s for Thanksgiving, then down into the 20s for weekend. If participating in Black Friday or if you plan to attend Stroll On State this Saturday, BUNDLE UP in layers!
