DISCUSSION…
Cloud cover is also expected to gradually fill in Sunday evening as the mid-levels saturate ahead of an advancing ridge. As the ridge
moves overhead late this evening winds will become light which looks to set up favorable conditions for fog development late tonight into
Monday morning. However, still cold low of 23°F with cloud cover only has high 61 percent.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
1056 PM CST Sun Feb 5 2023
.SHORT TERM… Issued at 203 PM CST Sun Feb 5 2023
Through Monday night…
Clouds have struggled to fill in across the area this afternoon likely due to the axis of mid-level dry air that is sitting over the mid Mississippi River Valley. This lack of cloud cover has allowed temperatures to over perform a bit this afternoon with most locations reporting temperatures in the upper 30s and lower 40s, however; a weak frontal boundary is currently pushing across northern Illinois and is expected to move through the rest of the area later this afternoon which will gradually lower temperatures through the evening as northwest winds advect in cooler air.
Cloud cover is also expected to gradually fill in this evening as the mid-levels saturate ahead of an advancing ridge. As the ridge moves overhead late this evening winds will become light which looks to set up favorable conditions for fog development late tonight into Monday morning. Guidance has continued to indicate that the best fog potential would establish across western Illinois near the I-39 corridor where the thicker snow pack should allow for better cooling and increase the odds of the surface reaching saturation. Therefore, I have maintained the going patchy fog mention for our western most tiers of counties, however; I would not be surprised if that mention needed to be extended into our far southern counties where slightly higher dew points may allow for patchy fog to develop there as well.
Any fog that does develop is expected to dissipate Monday morning as winds settle into a southerly direction and begin to increase in speed as the pressure gradient tightens ahead of a quick moving cold front. While the strongest winds look to arrive Monday evening where gusts upwards of 30 mph are expected, the increasing warm advection during the day on Monday will allow temperatures to top out in the mid to upper 30s and lower 40s. In addition to the winds, the front will also bring with it a quick hit of light rain showers late Monday evening into Tuesday morning.
