Heavy rain continues to come down across much of the Stateline this morning with the heaviest hugging I-39.  Radar rainfall estimates so far have indicated at least two inches of rain has fallen in some spots.  Rain, heavy at times, will continue through a good part of the morning.  Surface low has moved a little further to the northwest and that has allowed the axis of heaviest rain to form right along northern Illinois/southern Wisconsin.  As a result, Flash Flood Warnings have been issued for Winnebago, Ogle, Lee, Boone, DeKalb and McHenry Co. until 8:15am.  A long line of convection stretches just south of the Rockford Metro area down through west central Illinois as of 3:30am.  While the entire rain shield will slowly move to the east through the morning hours, several rounds of heavy rain will be likely in some locations.  After the rain moves out, our next focus will be the cold front as it moves through later in the day.  Any type of sunshine/daytime heating could potentially allow the atmosphere to destabilize some with more storms possible late in the afternoon.  We'll continue to monitor trends through the morning hours.
