We managed to squeeze out some sunshine Tuesday allowing temperatures to warm into the mid and upper 30s. Rockford's high officially reached 39 degrees, five degrees above average. Cloud cover has rolled back in, however, leaving skies mostly cloudy and temperatures holding steady in the low to mid 30s. Light snow has been showing up on radar, but little to none of those snow showers have been reaching the ground due to dry air in the low levels. Overtime the atmosphere will become saturated enough, allowing light snow to fall across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.
Snow accumulations won't be much - a dusting to around half an inch. But a narrow band of heavier snow may occur which could lead to slightly higher isolated totals for some. Be mindful that there could be some slick conditions through Wednesday morning's commute.
Temperatures will hold steady in the low 30s, briefly dropping into the upper 20s early Wednesday. Northwest winds will increase following the departing low with gusts around 25 mph. High pressure will briefly return Wednesday night clearing skies ahead of our next weather system, currently over the Pacific Northwest.
The next round of light snow moves in Thursday and Thursday night with some minor accumulations through Friday morning. Friday morning's commute could also feature a few slick conditions.
