Cold Canadian high pressure which caused frost last night is shifting to the east tonight. Clouds will be a factor ovenight, and keep temperatures from dropping any lower than the middle to upper 30's, so frost should not be a problem tonight. A new area of low pressure will kick out of the central Rockies into plains on Monday, and will move to central Kansas by supper hour on Monday eve, and could bring scattered showers to the Stateline during the afternoon on Monday. A soaking rain will occur on Monday night with some rumbles of thunder. Rainfall totals with this system could be around 1" across northern Illinois, and more than that is expected across southern Wisconsin. On Tuesday there could be some lingering showers and thunderstorms as the front associated with that system edges slowly to the southeast. Tuesday night will be dry, and so will Wednesday morning, but by Wednesday afternoon the front will start to move back toward the north, and moisture overrunning the front could scatter some showers and thunderstorms back across the Stateline in the afternoon. The low pressure associated with that system will approach the area on Wednesday night, and could bring some locally heavy rainfall to northern Illinois. Stay turned to WTVO 17 and WQRF Fox 39, and our weather team will keep you posted all week as these systems move through the area.
