Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families! It was a cold Thanksgiving across much of the country, but definitely so here in Rockford. Officially, our high temperature was only 29° today. Not only was this the coldest high since January, it was also the coldest Thanksgiving Day since 2014!
Heading into the late evening, we will see a few patches of snow flurries pinwheeling around a weak disturbance to our North. Any snow we do see will not accumulate on the ground given the lack of moisture near the surface. Temperatures will drop into the low 20s and upper teens tonight under otherwise overcast skies.
Heading into tomorrow, the chill will stick with us. Afternoon highs will only reach the mid-20s as flurries linger through 7/8AM. Clouds will stick around through the first half of the day, but we may begin clearing out by the afternoon. Temperatures will continue to drop from there, reaching the teens by 7/8PM.
The low temperatures will be paired with even lower wind chill values. A WNW wind gusting near 30 mph at times will make it feel more like the single digits Friday morning through much of the day. Only briefly during the afternoon will it feel warmer than 10° with wind chills factored in.
It doesn't get much warmer for the weekend, though we will see a bit more sunshine. Afternoon highs reach the mid-20s with overnight lows in the teens through Sunday. Both days will feature a WNW or NW breeze, making it feel colder. Temperatures will likely remain below freezing all the way through Tuesday.
