ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) - If you like the warm weather I have good news and bad news. The good news is we have a few more days of above average temperatures but the bad news is our temperatures sway much cooler as we head to the weekend.

Today will be the most summer like as we will have sunny skies with highs in the mid 80s. Winds will be on a little stronger as some winds gusts can reach 20 mph.

Thursday night will be mostly clear allowing temperatures to drop quickly down to the upper 40s.

Friday another cold front makes it’s way through bringing another round of rain chances. However, this cold front will cool us off to the upper 50s for our highs. So, you might want to grab your long sleeves and pants as the last time we had a high at or below 60 degrees was back on May 8.
