Wednesday Evening Rainfall Update

Most of Wednesday evening has been dry, but cloudy.  A stationary front south of Rockford has been the focus for developing showers and isolated thunderstorms.  These showers are forecast to continue to shift north and northeast during the overnight, becoming more widespread over northern Illinois after Midnight.


Low pressure moving into northern Missouri will move near St. Louis overnight and then into west-central Indiana by Thursday morning.  The low will then strengthen once reaching Indiana, allowing more snow to wrap in over parts of northeast Illinois and southern Wisconsin mid-morning Thursday, before moving into Michigan and Indiana.


Temperatures will remain in the 30's for the start of Thursday, but should remain above freezing.  There is a chance that before the precipitation ends mid-morning that snow could become mixed with the rain, but any significant accumulating snow should remain further east.


Either way, plan for a messy commute Thursday morning.  Skies will turn dry by the afternoon with temperatures warming into the low 40's.
