Wednesday Evening Weather Update

Non-severe showers and thunderstorms moved through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin late Wednesday afternoon.  A few of the stronger rain showers did produce gusty winds, but no severe weather was reported.


That line has now moved north into central Wisconsin, with additional showers and thunderstorms developing over northwest Illinois.  A warm front is draped from near Dubuque, IA to Sterling and then south of Kankakee in east-central Illinois.  The rain and isolated thunderstorms moving into Green and Stephenson counties are forming along and ahead of a warm front that will continue to lift north through the evening.  Severe weather isn't expected but with stronger winds in the atmosphere moving into the Stateline this evening, some of the storms could produce gusty winds.  Brief heavy downpours will likely be our greatest concern.


Isolated to widely scattered storms will continue to fester through roughly Midnight, with skies likely remain mostly cloudy during the overnight.
