After a week filled with warmth and severe weather mother nature gave many across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin a little taste of winter with patchy frost early Sunday morning, followed by a mix of rain, graupel, and a few snowflakes! Thankfully, the precipitation was nothing significant but just enough to wet the sidewalk. Most of the precipitation has now moved east of the area, leaving partly cloudy skies through sunset.
High pressure moving in from the northwest will settle across Lake Michigan Sunday night. This will allow our skies to clear through the night as temperatures fall into the low 30s, with a few locations dipping into the upper 20s. A FREEZE WARNING will go into effect for all of northern Illinois beginning at Midnight and running through Monday morning.
While a little too early to really start planting the recent rain and warmth has allowed things to 'green' up over the last few weeks. Anything that has sprouted and may be a little more susceptible to the cold could be at risk with the freezing conditions.
Winds will turn back to the southwest Monday bringing temperatures into the mid-50s.
