Rain, moderate to heavy at times, will continue to move across southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois this morning.  These showers are a result of what is called a jet streak (stronger winds within the jet stream) moving through the upper Great Lakes.  Rainfall totals may reach close to a tenth of an inch in some spots where some of the heavier rain has fallen.  Skies will remain mostly cloudy going through the afternoon with temperatures reaching the middle 60s.

Low pressure in the northern Plains will move southeast into Iowa later this afternoon.  A warm front will extend to the east of the low, but remain just to our southwest.  Winds will increase this afternoon from the southeast and as both the low and warm front move closer, storms could redevelop in Iowa and move into north-central and northeastern Illinois by this evening.  I'll have more of an analysis on the weather expected this afternoon coming out soon.
