Lingering Evening Storms

A line of thunderstorms is developing from central Wisconsin back into northwest Illinois as of this writing. These storms are not severe, but they are moving slowly which means they could drop some heavy rain in a few spots. These storms don't have enough wind shear to last longer than an hour or so, but their outflow could trigger some new cells through this evening. Any new cells that develop are not expected to be severe, but could also produce some brief heavy downpours.

Earlier this afternoon, the town of Sycamore (in DeKalb county) had pea-size (or slightly larger) hail stones along with heavy rain. In Elburn, the power went out around 2:45pm as a tree fell on a powerline at Keslinger Rd. Other than that, I must admit this afternoon and evening were quieter than I expected!  --TS
