It looks like we have a mixed bag of weather heading our way for the Rockford area and surrounding northeastern Illinois as we move through the week. Today, we are seeing generally cloudy conditions with a possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm, keeping our high around 83 degrees with light southwesterly winds. For our Tuesday, we can expect more variability in the clouds, with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely, particularly in the afternoon.
Looking ahead, the middle of the week starts off with some nice improvements. Wednesday and Thursday will feature mostly sunny skies, with a stray shower still possible on Wednesday. We'll see comfortable temperatures in the lower to mid-80s, with light and variable to southerly winds. However, things are set to heat up significantly
