Slight Risk of Severe Storms Wednesday Night

An active southwest to northeast flow in the upper levels of the atmosphere continues to send a train of low pressure areas through the central Plains and into the Great Lakes region. Another low in central Colorado as of this writing will quickly move to the east and then northeast on Wednesday. An approaching warm front Wednesday night will trigger some showers and thunderstorms across the Stateline. According to the Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, OK, there is a slight risk that some of these storms will be severe in Ogle, Lee, and DeKalb counties. We'll be watching this situation as it unfolds!
