4:33PM UPDATE: Our overall storm threat continues to decrease late Tuesday afternoon now that the cold front has passed. There has been a noticeable drop in temperatures, with many locations in northern Illinois falling into the 40s. However, clouds are clearing over parts of northwest Illinois, and this is where temperatures have made a small rebound, with Galena back into the low 60s and Monroe back to 50.
We will likely see the temperature in Rockford rebound briefly back into the low 50s before dropping into the 30s overnight. Skies will briefly turn partly cloudy overnight before turning mostly cloudy into Wednesday morning.
Temperatures continue to drop from north to south early Tuesday afternoon as a strong cold front sinks south of the state line. Winds will turn to the north, and then northeast, behind the front ushering in the cooler air mass that'll remain in place through the afternoon Wednesday.
Following a few severe thunderstorms Tuesday morning most of the afternoon has remained quiet. But there are some thunderstorms that have developed just behind the front stretching from north of Freeport, IL up towards Janesville, WI. While the threat for severe weather remains low with the storms this afternoon, a few of the stronger ones are still going to be capable of producing small hail. One such storm is currently moving through southern Rock County in Wisconsin.
The threat for isolated thunderstorms will continue through about 7pm with drier conditions expected tonight. Winds will be breezy from time to time Wednesday keeping afternoon temperatures in the mid-40s.
