It seems this plume of wildfire smoke is taking forever to leave the Stateline. In fact, if you were outside during the afternoon or evening Thursday, you may have caught a whiff of it as some was able to reach the surface. We’re dealing with the worst of the air quality this morning as much of the Stateline, Davenport, and even the Chicago metro are sitting with an air quality index (AQI) above 100. This is considered “unhealthy for some”.

Air Quality Alerts remain in place for some across the Stateline area, mainly for those up in southern Wisconsin and in McHenry County. The one in place across southern Wisconsin is set to expire at noon today whereas the one for northeast Illinois runs a bit longer, running until midnight tonight. With air quality levels sitting in between the “moderate” to at times “unhealthy for some” categories, those with heart and lung conditions, the young, and the elderly should limit time outdoors.

Scattered showers linger as the cold front continues to progress across northern Illinois. We can expect showers to wrap up before midday, leaving us dry this afternoon. Afternoon highs will be cooler, landing in the low 70s. A weak high pressure system sliding into the Great Lakes will keep conditions dry for Thursday. Under a partly cloudy sky, expect highs to inch closer to the 80° mark. Forecast models then show a weak system traversing across central Illinois Friday.

One of the big weather headlines this week has been the wildfire smoke and the biggest uncertainty was if it will be able to reach the surface. While yesterday’s rainfall was welcome with open arms, the sinking air behind it will allow some of the smoke to be transferred down to the surface. For that, the Environmental Protection Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for the eastern half of Minnesota, all of Iowa and all of Wisconsin. This does include Green, Rock, and Walworth County.

It hasn’t been all that exciting in the rainfall department this year considering 71 days of 2025 have come in with .25″ or less. In fact, you would have to go back to July 22nd of last year, a mere 316 days ago, to find Rockford’s last rainfall total above the 1.5″ mark. Well, depending on how this evening and tonight goes, a locale or two may end up seeing that much rainfall. With the exception of a midday shower or storm, most of our Tuesday will be dry as we await for the cold front’s arrival.

Saturday remains dry, though we can expect more clouds and the chance for a few showers to arrive late into Saturday night. Sct'd chances continue Sunday as a cold front is scheduled to sweep through during the afternoon. A few storms are also possible! #ILwx #WIwx @MyStateline https://t.co/jTehWQ231X
Air quality to start is considered "unhealthy for some" as much of the area is observing AQI values above 100. Refrain from spending prolonged periods of time outdoors if you have lung/heart issues. Air quality should slowly improve as the day progresses! #ILwx #WIwx @MyStateline https://t.co/xwY6D88Dmt
