Rockford Metro Forecast

Temperatures tonight will settle into the middle 30s under a partly cloudy sky. Some patchy fog is possible, just like early this morning. Saturday should shape up to be a beautiful late-fall day! Temperatures will rise into the 50s for the afternoon with plenty of sunshine.

Sunday and Monday look okay as well however Monday will feature increasing cloudiness with some afternoon or evening drizzle. Light rain will overspread the area Tuesday as temperatures take a nosedive. Wednesday will likely be cold enough to support either rain or snow. Accumulations can't occur unless the temperatures are around freezing and the ground is at or below freezing. This shouldn't happen with this system, even though some flurries will fall on Thanksgiving. With El Nino here, there's probably a higher likelihood we'll have snow flurries on Thanksgiving versus Christmas!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Eric Sorensen, Chief Meteorologist
