Few flurries/light showers possible Tuesday evening

 

Temperatures fell short of their full potential Tuesday afternoon, despite the gusty wind from the south. Increasing cloud cover kept us in the low 30s for most of the afternoon with wind chills in the 20s. It wasn't until late afternoon numbers were able to climb into the upper 30s. But even then, it didn't feel the warmest thanks to the gusty wind.

A cold front moving through the Midwest and into the western Great Lakes has brought with it a few snow showers and light rain. However, not everyone is experiencing the precipitation this evening. To the north in Wisconsin, snow has been falling north of Madison and Milwaukee causing some issues on the roads. To the south, not much has been able to reach the surface thanks to some drier air. The current precipitation moving through northern Illinois will remain very light and scattered.

The cold front will pass later this evening taking the precipitation chance south with it. Skies will turn partly cloudy overnight with overnight lows dipping into the 20s, rising into the 30s Wednesday.
