Sunshine has been in an abundance for most across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, with the exception of some thicker cloud cover out west. This has helped warm temperatures into the mid and upper 40s Monday afternoon. Dew point temperatures mixed down into the single digits across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, causing relative humidity values to drop around 20 percent. This combined with a breeze was enough to cause some fires to spread quickly across the region. Thankfully, we are beginning to see the dew point temperatures climb as moisture gradually increases through the evening.
A weak upper-level disturbance will slide in from the west late tonight allowing for the development of some drizzle/light rain showers. While nothing appears to be widespread, surface temperatures close to freezing early Tuesday could cause some isolated slick spots during the morning.
Skies will remain mostly cloudy Tuesday, but despite that temperatures should be able to warm into the mid-40s. Skies will clear Tuesday night allowing temperatures to fall back close to 30 before warming back into the 50s for the remainder of the week.
