It could be caused by a strong cold front. In South Dakota once, it was 50 degrees in one city, and -10 in another city, just 2 miles away! This was caused by a cold front, and if it's cold in one part of Illinois, and warm in another part, it's most likely caused by a cold front.

Air masses do not mix. Warm air stays separated from cold air. Dry air does not mix with moist air. The separation of two different air masses is called a front and it can be very cold on one side and warm on the other side. It is not unusual for a difference of fifty degrees to occur from one air mass to another.

Sea breezes can develop off of Lake Michigan due to the Land being warmer than the water. This will caused the temperature to be cooler than inland areas because the inland areas don't feel the sea breeze.

Look at the map, it is a big state. The northern most part is pretty close to Minnesota and the southern most part is close to Tennessee and Arkansas. There is a huge difference there!

There are different air masses all the time. Don't you ever watch the Weather Channel?

Lake Michigan is really big so sometimes by Chicago by the lake it can be cooler while downstate it can be warmer.
