The Rockford Int'l Airport has yet to record a temperature below the freezing mark this fall, but that could be changing soon. Freeze Warnings will be in effect overnight for all of our northern Illinois counties. This means that sub-freezing temperatures are likely, which will kill crops and other sensitive vegetation. Southern Wisconsin is not under this warning since this area has already felt the mercury drop below 32°.
I think the chances of our temperatures dropping below the freezing mark are borderline tonight. Granted a polar airmass has moved into the Stateline, but with such blustery conditions still taking place at 8pm (image above) it is going to be hard for temps to drop much more. The windy atmosphere keeps the air stirred up, which is not optimal for radiational cooling. However, if we don't break the freezing mark tonight it is almost certain that it will be shattered Monday night/Tuesday morning when our winds turn much lighter. -ADAM
