We finally saw temperatures climb into the low 30s for some in the Stateline, marking the first time in a week we've been above 30°. Temperatures this past week were quite chilly, with highs as low as 8° and a few overnight lows below zero! But you can see the staircase climb of numbers through the 20s and now into the 30s for highs.
Tomorrow will get another boost to those temperatures with highs reaching the upper 30s and possibly near 40 for some. The degree of warming will depend heavily on the cloud cover or lack thereof along with the influence of the decreasing snow cover. I would not be shocked to see a few spots touch the low 40s, but I suspect at least a few will remain in the upper 30s, especially near and West of Rockford where snow cover is deepest.
We will remain mild enough even for the next few overnights to cause our predominant precipitation type to be in the form of rain as opposed to snow. We will likely remain dry through Monday evening, but the Monday night window could bring some light rain. Tuesday will be dry again before our next chance for some rain arrives Tuesday night into Wednesday. This wave could try to mix in snowflakes toward Wednesday evening as the cooler air arrives late.
Temperatures will be quite mild next week, with multiple highs in the 40s with lows in the 20s and 30s. This will allow for much of our snow cover to begin melting away. Likely by the middle of the week, snow depth will be almost nothing across much of the country that was under a few inches of snow just a few days prior!
