Rain will continue through the next hour or two before completely moving out of the WTVO viewing area by this afternoon. Clouds will stick around through a good part of the day with a little bit drizzle. Doppler estimated rainfall amounts through 9am have much of Northern Illinois picking up on close to an 1" of rain over the past 24 hours, with a few locally higher amounts. Southeast Iowa has once again received close to 2" of rain with this last system. While we will see a break in the rain later tonight and for the first part of Wednesday morning, we could get another round of heavy rain Wednesday night into Thursday morning. By the time it's all done, some may be looking at close to 2"-2.5". The nice thing about the rain that moved through this morning is that it was a good soaking rain. Most of the local farmers have a lot of the corn planted, with some of it beginning to come up, and are now working on the beans. The rain that we could potentially see with the next system shouldn't have too much of an impact other than farmers getting out into the fields. The one thing we don't want to see is and inch of rain in an hour!
