Janesville is on the Illinois border, just north of Beloit. I know it best as a constant source of road construction, seemingly every time I attempted to drive between my parents’ in Minnesota and school in Indiana.
At 245PM, CT, Janesville was reporting a temperature of 34 degrees with overcast skies. An undercutting boundary beneath strong low pressure in western Ontario was found at the back edge of the local overcast, and at the leading edge of advancing warm air. That boundary was over central Iowa, however, and the warmest push of air is not expected to make it to Janesville before nightfall, and a weak cold front will arrive to chase it out by sunrise tomorrow.
The boundary will be quick moving, and bring just a dusting of snow through the morning, with clearing skies coming by afternoon. The clearing trend will continue with high pressure developing in the western Great Lakes. The clear skies will still feature some brisk northwest winds, but warmer weather is not far behind this forecast period.
