For the first time since February 10th, Rockford reached above freezing, hitting a high of 41° today! That marks the end of a 12 day stretch of sub-freezing temperatures. It's the longest such streak since December of 2022! The record longest streak of sub-freezing days was 46 in Jan-Feb 1978.
Tomorrow will continue the milder stretch of weather with highs possibly reaching the mid-40s areawide. A few locations especially South of I-88 may even reach the 50s if we see more breaks in the clouds.
Our next round of precipitation will arrive Monday evening into Monday night. We could see a few light sprinkles reach the ground as early as 6/7PM, but the better chances will arrive toward 12AM (pictured below). Any rain we do see will be light in nature and quick to exit, with the daytime hours of Tuesday dry and highs reaching the mid-upper 40s again.
Tuesday night into Wednesday will be the next rain chance with showers a bit more widespread than with Monday night's system. Again, any rain we see will be scattered and likely light in nature, but we may see a few spots pick up a couple tenths of an inch of rain where showers are steady. Rain showers may linger into the daytime hours of Wednesday, with a slim chance for a brief round of flurries or snow mixing in Wednesday evening. Temperatures will reach the upper 40s Wednesday afternoon. Many overnight lows this week will be near or just below freezing, but warmer air aloft will keep precipitation chances in the form of rain.
