Monday showers/storms likely this morning

11:35am Update:  Storms now moving through Freeport, Cedarville and eventually into Orangeville.  Southern edge of the rain is lifting north of Rockford into Wisconsin.


11:30am Update:  Showers will continue to lift north into Wisconsin through noon today, however, there have been a few heavier showers/storms moving through Jo Daviess county and now into central Stephenson county near Pearl City and just west of Freeport.  Areas out in Jo Daviess county have received rainfall amounts of 1" to 2" as reported from trained spotters.  As these storms continue to lift north/northeast it's possible an additional half inch could fall which may create some local ponding on roads or even some localized flooding.  The showers/storms should become a little more scattered going through the afternoon.

Moderate to heavy rainfall will continue to affect Forreston, Byron, Stillman Valley, Baileyville, Freeport, Pearl City, Lena, Warren, Shannon and Mt. Carroll this morning.  Embedded storms will also occur within some of these heavier bands.  Light rainfall is just southwest of Rockford and should begin to move into the Metro within the next 10 minutes.



(8:31:54 AM) nwsbot: DVN: Clinton [Clinton Co, IA] co-op observer reports HEAVY RAIN of M1.20 INCH at 08:20 AM CDT --


8:20am Update:  Heavy rainfall and thunder has been reported within the past 15 minutes from one of our weather watchers in Dixon.  Rain is now beginning to move through Polo and Forreston.


Scattered showers and storms are lifting north/northeast out of west-central Illinois this morning.  These are forming out ahead of an upper level disturbance moving out of Missouri.  While severe weather isn't anticipated with these showers heavy rainfall and frequent lightning will be possible.  The heaviest of the rainfall appears to be right along the Mississippi River lifting north.  The storms will continue into Whiteside, Carroll and Jo Daviess counties this morning.  There is also a band of heavier rain, with a few embedded storms, moving into Sterling and eventually into Dixon.
