Gusty northwest winds have reached close to 35 mph from time-to-time Monday afternoon holding temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s, despite the return of sunshine. The winds will ease through sunset, remaining from the northwest, as high pressure slowly moves in.
The wind direction will shift from the northwest to the northeast, then eventually to the east through the night. As it does, lake effect cloud cover will begin to move onshore across northeast Illinois which will turn skies mostly cloudy. While most of the cloud cover remains east of Rockford through the night, skies for a time could turn mostly cloudy this far west. If so, temperatures would likely remain in the 30s. Temperatures will drop into the 20s where the skies remain clear. Wind chills, however, will fall into the mid-20s around sunrise across the region.
East winds pick up Tuesday but won't be as strong as Monday. Gusts will approach 15-20 mph through the afternoon with temperatures holding right around 50 degrees.
