Fall frost/freeze expected Tuesday night

It looks like our first fall frost/freeze will take place Tuesday night as skies clear from any cloud cover and the gusty winds we’ve experienced the last few days subside.

A FREEZE WARNING has been issued for our northwest Illinois counites of Stephenson, Jo Daviess, Carroll, and Whiteside. A FREEZE WATCH is currently in place for Green and Rock counties in southern Wisconsin, and for Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, McHenry, and DeKalb counties. For both, these will go into effect Tuesday night, lasting through Wednesday morning.

Temperatures Monday night will likely dip into the upper 30s for most, but a gusty northwest wind and cloud cover will limit the overall potential for any widespread frost. It’s likely there will be some patchy frost, especially where skies clear through the night, but widespread frost is not expected.
