Showers...embedded storms...beginning to move through

8:30am Update:  Other than a light shower or two, the rain has ended and a couple breaks in the cloud cover will be found this morning.  There has been some fog that has formed back in Iowa and across northwest & north-central Illinois behind the rain but it isn't expected to last too long this morning.



 

5:45am Update: The heaviest of the thunderstorm activity has moved east this morning, however there have been a few pop up showers/storms near Davenport, IA - southern Whiteside and Lee counties.  These scattered showers/storms will continue through mid-morning with mostly cloudy skies remaining into the afternoon.  Storms could actually redevelop just south of Chicago and into northwest Indiana later today ahead of the main low pressure system.  Something to keep in mind if heading east today.

Low pressure over north-central Missouri early this morning will keep showers, with a few embedded storms, going for the next couple of hours.  The storms are moving into an environment that is a little more stable than where they originated from Thursday evening.  Severe weather is not anticipated but moderate to heavy rainfall can be expected along with possible pea-sized hail.
