It was a sunny end to the day Friday as high temperatures reached into the 40s for the first time since mid-January! Unfortunately, the recent warming trend will be temporarily halted this weekend behind Friday's cold front. Temperatures this evening will drop quickly as high pressure slides in. Overnight lows will end up within a few degrees of 10, while wind chills will drop down toward the low single digits for much of the night.

Saturday will start out sunny but cold as afternoon highs only reach back into the mid-20s. Cloud cover will gradually increase through the evening, with a few flurries possible overnight. Most of the moisture from this wave will pass North and East of Rockford, keeping the large majority of the area dry.

It won't take long for the milder air to filter back in. Sunday brings us back above average into the 30s with a mostly cloudy sky. Monday and Tuesday will be back in the 40s again. A few very isolated rain showers may develop nearby Monday evening into Tuesday but look to remain focused North and East of the area again. Overall, a quiet but milder pattern looks to settle in for much of next week.
