It was a foggy morning and early afternoon in the Stateline. A passing cold front helped to draw in some drier air through the evening, which cleared out the fog and could bring a few breaks in the cloud cover overnight. Where clouds clear a bit more, temperatures could drop into the upper 20s for the overnight low.
Tomorrow will start out with some pockets of sunshine, but cloud cover fills back in through the mid-morning. Temperatures will only rise into the upper 30s as a result.
Our next weather system will bring a chance for some scattered snow showers Tuesday evening through early Wednesday morning. Some of this may mix in with a little bit of rain given temperatures hovering just below freezing. The highest coverage of any snow showers would arrive after 9PM, with spotty snow showers lasting until 6AM. Total snow accumulations could reach a half inch for some. Given the mostly overnight timing of this system, only marginal impacts to the Wednesday morning commute can be expected.
A favorable pattern for more frequent weather systems will arrive through the middle of the week. This starts with a general Northwest to Southeast flow aloft, funneling multiple quick-moving weather systems our way Thursday into the weekend. Some of these may bring a chance for snow, depending on temperature profiles when the systems arrive.
The next main one would reach the Stateline in the Thursday time frame. In this scenario, the highest coverage of snow looks to favor areas to the North of Rockford for now, but there is time for this to shift. Stay tuned to the weather forecast and snow lovers: cross your fingers!
