As we move past the first day of spring, the Northern Hemisphere is now gaining daylight each day on our way toward the summer solstice - which is just 92 days away. From here on out, the sun climbs a little higher and stays a little longer, giving us those steadily lengthening days!
Sunrise comes at 6:57AM today, with our sunset occurring at 7:09PM. Between both times, expect a good amount of sunshine paired with warm south to southwesterly breeze. That combination will help northern Illinois achieve it's warmest day of the year thus far, with afternoon highs peaking in the mid to upper 70s. This would also go down as Rockford's third 70-degree day of 2026 - all of which have occurred during the month of March.
Quick to Cool:
With today's warm surge into the 70s, it's a great idea to take full advantage of the springlike weather while it's here. A strong cold front is on the way, and once it moves through, temperatures will be restricted to the 40s Sunday and also for Monday. Tagging along with said cold front will also be enough moisture to spark a few scattered rain showers.
