Wednesday Evening Weather Update

An incoming line of showers and thunderstorms from Wisconsin will continue to sink south through the evening.  These will be near southern Wisconsin between 7pm and 8pm, and into northern Illinois between 8pm and 10pm.  Severe weather is not expected as the rain is moving into an environment a little less favorable for any storm growth.  In fact, we may see some of these fizzle out before reaching the state line.


The thunderstorms formed ahead of a cold front, brought on by high pressure up north.  This front will move through northern Illinois by early Thursday morning.  There will be a little low level moisture behind the front, which will likely keep skies mostly cloudy for the start of Thursday.  As drier air gets pulled in behind the front, skies should turn partly cloudy with temperatures warming only into the mid 70's.
