Thursday morning weather

9:30am Update:  Rainfall coming to an end with a little drizzle possible through the morning.  Rainfall totals range anywhere from a quarter inch in Rochelle to almost 0.70" in DeKalb.







7:55am Update: Strongest of the storm is now east moving closer to Chicago.  Moderate rainfall will continue this morning with a few embedded storms.  Rainfall nearing half an inch to three quarters inch will be likely.  Storms will clear from west to east by noon with mostly cloudy skies expected later today.  Any rainfall totals would be appreciated!




6:45am update: Thunderstorms now moving through will continue to produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall.  These storms will be near Belvidere within the next 5 minutes as well as Stillman Valley, Davis Junction and Rochelle.  There are a few stronger wind gusts ahead of the main line of storms.





6:00am update:  Stronger storm now moving through central Green county in southern Wisconsin.  Pea sized hail and wind gusts near 45 mph remain possible.







5:30am update: A line of thunderstorms have now crossed over the Mississippi River and are entering into western Jo Daviess county.  Storms are also expanding in coverage across southern Wisconsin.  Look for storms to enter into Stephenson county by 6:15am and near Rockford around 7am or a little after.  Severe weather is not anticipated with this line, however, frequent lightning and heavy rain will be the main concerns.  There may also occasionally be a wind gust near 45 mph.
