A slow moving cold front is slicing its way through the midwest today leaving a trail of sogginess. Ahead of the cold front temperatures are in the upper 50s to low 60s. Behind the cold front are temps in the upper 30s to low 40s. Because of the slow movement of the front, areas of western Illinois have already picked up about a half an inch of rain while sections of Cook and Dupage counties have measured a quarter of an inch already. Expect sharply colder conditions on Sunday with highs only near 40. While the winds are blowing from the S/SW today, tomorrow's winds will come from the N/NW and will have us talking about wind chills! It's been a mild November so far and I suppose the change was bound to occur! If you haven't dug into the hallway closet for your warmer jackets, now's a good time to as highs next week will hover only in the upper 30s to low 40s. Don't be surprised if you even see some snowflakes mixed in overnight into Sunday morning. For the latest forecast, be sure to tune into abc 7 news at 6 and 10 tonight. Are you on facebook?
