Tuesday Morning: Quick Weather Update


(9:11:42 AM) nwsbot: Local Storm Report by NWS MKX: Edgerton [Rock Co, WI] trained spotter reports HEAVY RAIN of M2.01 INCH at 09:00 AM CDT -- rainfall from midnight to 9 am.

(7:39:01 AM) nwsbot: Local Storm Report by NWS DVN: Galena [Jo Daviess Co, IL] co-op observer reports HEAVY RAIN of M1.13 INCH at 07:00 AM CDT -- 24 hour total.

Showers with a few embedded thunderstorms have been moving north into Wisconsin early this morning.  This storm complex was once severe weather in the Plains late Sunday evening but it's been weakening as its been moving east.  Thunderstorms will continue to lift north near Madison and Milwaukee this morning with light to moderate rain moving through northern Illinois through mid-morning. 

A warm front sits right overhead as of 6:20am and will move into Wisconsin by the afternoon.  A fairly warm and humid air mass will be in place this afternoon which could lead to thunderstorm redevelopment later today.  Clouds will likely stick around but any little sunshine we may experience today will quickly allow instability to build in the atmosphere.  If storms were to develop today the greatest threat would be hail and strong wind gusts.  I'll have a complete, in-depth analysis out later this morning/early this afternoon. -CK
