Saturday morning update


7: 25am: Thunderstorms continue to slowly move east, around 25 mph, across southern Wisconsin.  This line will produce moderate to heavy rainfall at times with hourly rainfall rates of an inch bringing storm total rainfall of one half inch to two inches for the area.  It's possible there may be some minor flooding with these additinal storms.




Heavy thunderstorms moved through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin early this morning.  These storms produced pea to quarter sized hail, gusty winds and very heavy rainfall in a short amount of time.  Now those storms have moved into northeast Illinois while a few non-severe storms continue across southern Wisconsin.  With forcing occurring in the mid-levels of the atmosphere, additional storm develop is possible through mid-morning.  With some locations already receiving close to two inches of rainfall any further storms that develop will likely lead to additional flooding. 

There have been a few storms redeveloping over the same locations with further storms northwest of Dubuque, IA.  Training storms (storms moving over the same locations) are possible this morning.
