More rainfall on the way

A stalled boundary across northern Illinois earlier this morning was the focus for a few thunderstorms.  Pop up storms continued to form just north of the front and have now moved into southern Wisconsin.  The front has moved just a little south of Rockford where temperatures are currently in the 50s and south of the front temperatures are in the 60s and low 70s.  Cooler air from this morning's storms helped push the front a little further south keeping us cool and breezy this morning.

Low pressure will slowly lift the front back north allowing temperatures to warm some going into the afternoon, but also pull in the rain that is currently falling in Iowa.  Widespread rain and thunderstorms have developed north of the low and along a trough of low pressure.  I'm still thinking the heaviest of the rain will fall just to our northwest closer to the main low pressure center, however, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few areas here that received an inch or so.  Rain coverage will increase around mid-afternoon and last through the evening.  Rainfall totals will range from around a quarter to half an inch up to about an inch and a half.
