I know many folks that went to bed last night in a muggy and hot house, but woke up shivering due to windows that were left open. A powerful cold front moved through overnight, which caused our temperatures to crash and our winds to strengthen significantly out of the northeast. The graphic to the left starts at midnight last night. At that point it was still warm at 68°, but the Rockford airport recorded a 16° dip between midnight and 1am. That is a front that packs a punch!After such a warm weekend, today's weather is no picnic. Even with a few pockets of sunshine this afternoon our highs will stay 15° below average. Once the winds weaken tonight, the mercury will fall off even further. A few of the rural locations are likely to dip into the upper 30s.
If you were on of those folks already complaining about the humidity yesterday... you got your wish today with the weather shifting to the opposite end of the spectrum! -ADAM

I was one of them. I had my window open and laid down about 1130 and my bed was soo sticky and then around midnight the wind picked up and it cooled down in my room majorly. It got much more tolerable.
Agreed with tony, what a shock this morning!
So does that mean our official high temp for today was 68 and not 56?
If it was 56, is that a record for the 'high maximum' for this date?
Just curious!
