Temperatures Monday felt more like late spring/early summer rather than early March as highs warmed into the upper 60s and low 70s! In fact, the high temperature of 73 degrees in Rockford broke the previous record of 68 set back in 1977, and then again in 2021. I hope you were able to take some time and enjoy the warmth because it's back to reality as our pattern returns back to normal, and perhaps even a little below average, by the middle of the month.
Temperatures Tuesday will vary quite a bit across northern and central Illinois thanks to a reinforcing warm front. North of the boundary temperatures will remain in the 40s and 50s, while south of the front temperatures will warm well into the 60s and 70s. And that warmth could lead to some bigtime thunderstorms and severe weather downstate. I'll have more on the severe threat, including what our risks look like locally, coming up soon.
