Warm front not moving

Today has the potential for a major bust day as far as temperatures go.  The warm front is just to the south of us as indicated by the red line.  Temperatures across Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin are in the upper 40s and low 50s, while just to the south of the front temperatures have risen into the upper 60s and lower 70s.  As of right now the front is taking it's time moving north.  The storms this morning produced a cooler boundary kind of keeping the warm front at bay for the moment.  So, if we do not get on the south side of the warm front by this afternoon I think our high of 75° will a little far out of reach.  However, if the front moves north and we can get into the sunshine, we will be able to reach atleast the 60s.  This will also play an impact on our severe weather chances as we go through the evening and overnight.  Something we'll watch very closely through the afternoon and evening.  Chief Meteorologist Ty Shesky will have more to come.
