One of the first things I do when I get into the weather center each afternoon is check out the temperatures. While the Rockford area sits at an unbelieveable 76° at 3pm, the Chicago area is in the 50s and the Milwaukee area is in the 40s!
You can actually see the cold front on doppler radar. Click on the image to see it in motion. The little blue line that goes from SE Rockford to the south suburbs of Chicago is the front in motion! It is actually enhancinc the lift...for some thunderstorms across Lee County, IL right now!
It's amazing to see the shorts and tee-shirt weather south of the front...winter coat weather north! The front will slowly sag southeastward in the direction of the blue arrow through the afternoon and may continue to fire up some storms, capable of some small hail through 7pm.
Temperatures in the Rockford area will fall into the 50s by 5pm. The forties will be kept snugly along the Lake Michigan shoreline. -ERIC
