Hmmm...Sound Familiar

 Interesting scenerio playing out this morning with the storms that are currently moving through southern Iowa.  Stationary boundary remains to the south of the Stateline stretching through southern Iowa and central Illinois.  This is where a lot of the instability has been confined to so far this morning.  Storms will continue to intensify and move east/southeast through mid-morning.  For most of us, the morning hours will remain dry although an isolated afternoon storm can't be ruled out. 

Now for the interesting part.  We'll have to see how any outflow boundaries from the storms this morning interact with the stationary front.  They may actually keep the front from moving north later today.  If that's the case and the front remains to the south, any storm development later this afternoon and evening will likely follow that and bypass some of the Stateline....leaving us high and dry once again.  We all know we sure could use the rain.  Although we do have plenty of chances to pick up on some rain as the week progresses.

We are still under a slight risk for the evening, but that risk has been shifted a little further to the south since earlier this morning.  We'll continue to monitor things in the weather center and be sure to keep you updated if anything changes.
