The weather in the Stateline area has been all over the place lately, with snow and tornadoes hitting on the same day.
Spring is Here, But It Feels Like the Third Winter
Even though spring officially started on Thursday, March 20, northern Illinois seems stuck in the “Third Winter.”
The region’s unpredictable weather cycle continues, with a mix of sun, rain, and even snow expected this weekend.
Saturday Looks Like the Best Day for the Weather
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday, March 22, will likely be the nicest day of the weekend. Rockford should see mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 40s.
Rain Expected Early Sunday, Possibly Turning to Snow
Saturday night is expected to stay dry until after midnight when rain showers are likely to begin.
The rain is expected to continue through early Sunday afternoon, with highs reaching the mid-50s.
Sunday night could bring a mix of rain and snow. There’s a slight chance of rain before 1 a.m., followed by snow showers early Monday morning, March 24.
However, no significant snow accumulation is expected, and Monday’s high should reach the mid-40s.
More Snow is Possible in Early April
The unpredictable weather might continue into April. According to the Weather Channel, there’s about a 25% chance of snow developing late on March 31, with flurries possibly lasting into April 1 — and no, this isn’t an April Fools’ joke.
