Snow expected for Saturday night overnight into Sunday

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - Snow is headed our way for late tonight and temperatures continue to take a nosedive.

We saw highs in the upper 20s today while winds died down to 5 mph, staying a lot calmer. Temperatures for the day were in the mid-20s with very overcast skies. There weren’t many breaks for sun but there was a whole lot of clouds.

Tonight will warm up a little bit but will also feel just as cold because of the snow we will be expecting. The snow will be beginning around 11 p.m. and going on overnight into Sunday until five in the morning where we will see a nice break from the snow. However, it will pick up again around 8:30 a.m. and finally stop by 11:00 a.m.
