ROCKFORD (WREX) — The Stateline may not see rain until the weekend, which won't help areas getting closer to drought conditions. On the flip side, the weather will be easier to plan around this week.
September-like:
Cooler air filtering into the Midwest means we get another preview of next month's typical weather. Unlike earlier this month when temperatures dropped into the 40's at times, this week's weather resembles early September rather than late September or early October.
Tuesday stays just below 80 degrees, with a lot of sunshine and a lot less humidity. A light north breeze keeps the cool and dry air flowing into the Stateline.
Wednesday and Thursday warm back into the low 80's, then Friday returns to the middle 80's. By that point, the humidity is back, so the end of the week will feel like summer again.
Long dry stretch:
Rain looks to stay away all week, with sunny and pleasantly warm weather instead.
This will make the week ahead easier to plan around, since you won't have to worry as much about when rain could interrupt any outdoor plans. There are a few spots that could use a lot of rainfall, but the weather won't help out this week.
Sections of southern Ogle and northern Lee counties are rated as abnormally dry from the U.S. Drought Monitor. This is a step away from drought conditions, so longer periods of dry weather like this week won't help to remove that designation.
For now, there's one chance for rain this week. Saturday afternoon into Saturday night may feature a few scattered showers and storms. A cold front sweeps through and could trigger the storms. There is a slight threat for heavier rainfall, but the dry ground would help cut down on flood threats. Looking beyond that, rain chances look minimal going into next week.
