Remants of Alberto Bring Heavy Rain to the Stateline


By Wednesday morning, what was Subtropical Storm Alberto, now a Subtropical Depression, is currently spinning over Montgomery, Alabama. This tight circulation is already dumping around 2-4" of rain around the Montgomery, Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa areas, with localized totals closer to 6". This storm will track north over the next day and a half, moving through Kentucky and Tennessee today, making it to southern Illinois early tomorrow morning.  Areas in Tennessee and Kentucky will also pick up 2-3" of rain, over the next couple of days. With again, a few areas seeing up near 4-5" of rain!



As this system lifts near Lake Michigan through Wednesday, it will bring several round of rain showers and embedded thunderstorms across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Many areas locally will see roughly 1-2" of rain, with some localized totals nearing 2.5".

While instability is low tomorrow afternoon, it could be enough to bring a few embedded storms tomorrow. Rain will continue through Wednesday evening, before clearing the area early Thursday.
