Rockford in Top 10 for Wettest Years to Date

So far, Rockford has experienced its 8th wettest year to date through May 22 and the rain is certainly not over yet!

With this strong jet stream overhead that's expected to deepen over the next few days, we are expecting the chance for showers and thunderstorms every day through the middle of next week including some potentially severe thunderstorms late Friday evening.

The 17.16 inches of rain we've experienced so far in 2019 is 5.99 inches above normal. The average rainfall through May 22 is 11.17 inches. So far, 4.51 inches of rain have fallen this month alone! Another 2 - 2.5 inches is expected to fall in Rockford over the next 5 days.
