It's been a long streak of arctic cold over the last week plus in the Stateline. The last 8 days have featured an average high temperature of only 10.1°, nearly 20 degrees cooler than the average for this time of year! This also marked the 8th day in a row with temperatures failing to reach 20 degrees. That is the longest such streak since February of 2021, when Rockford spent 11 days below 20.
Saturday will finally break that streak, as our high will reach back into the 20s with a partly cloudy day. We will return much closer to average over the next week, with several days in the mid to upper 20s.
This "milder" pattern comes with an active series of clippers. The first of which will bring the potential for some light snow or flurries Sunday afternoon and evening. System number two may pass just South of us with higher pressure blocking abundant moisture from reaching this far North. A stronger system will pass us by late in the week, bringing yet another slim chance for snow Thursday into Friday, along with a sharper cool-down into next weekend.
