Tuesday late afternoon weather update

 


A line of scattered rain showers continues to move across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin this evening, weakening quite a bit as they progress to the east. These showers are forming ahead of a cold front that'll sweep through the Stateline later tonight.

The heaviest rain stayed to our southeast Monday night/Tuesday morning where an inch to two inches was recorded. The showers moving in this evening will remain under a quarter of an inch. Over the last three days Rockford has recorded 0.86 inches of rainfall, which is more than what the entire month of October accumulated. The wetter than normal pattern does appear to stick around for the next week or two as outlooks highlight a slightly higher probability for above average precipitation.


Temperatures held fairly steady in the 60s through much of the afternoon but will slowly drop into the mid-40s behind the front. Despite high pressure moving in cloud cover will remain in abundance through the night and for the start of Wednesday, gradually clearing through the afternoon. Highs on Wednesday will warm into the mid-50s. 

With some of the residual moisture lingering both Wednesday and Thursday night areas of fog will be possible with temperatures remaining fairly seasonable for this time of year, in the upper 50s to near 60 degrees.
