Monday was the 10th straight day where skies have been either mostly cloudy or cloudy across northern Illinois. Thankfully, this dreary trend breaks for a short time Monday night with a return of sunshine Tuesday. Unfortunately, this means temperatures will fall into the 20s overnight as wind chills dip into the teens! Bundle up.
Skies have been slowly clearing from west to east Monday evening with the back edge of the cloud cover now nearing the Mississippi River. This trend will continue through the night, leaving skies mostly clear as the sun rises Tuesday morning.
Northwest winds have also been increasing behind the front, sustained between 15-20 mph with gusts reaching 25-30 mph. The gusty winds will continue through the morning. This will cause morning wind chills to dip into the low to mid-teens for many Tuesday. Temperatures will slowly rise through the afternoon Tuesday, reaching the upper 30s ahead of increasing cloud cover Tuesday evening. A weak disturbance moving in late Tuesday night will bring a few snow flurries/snow showers to the region through Wednesday morning, which could be enough to create at least some slick conditions early Wednesday.
