Showers continue, mainly dry weekend ahead

Rockford, Rochelle, and DeKalb were able to pick up .20" to .30" from last night's rainfall.This did limit the potential for dense fog in those areas. 

However, a section of the Stateline which includes Jo-Daviess, Whiteside, Stephenson, and Carroll County remain under a Dense Fog Advisory. This will run until 10AM this morning and up until then, visibility will rapid fluctuate between locations.

Rain from overnight did taper off a bit as we inched closer to the morning commute. 

Despite that, I would still have your umbrella with you as on and off showers will be possible until we hit the late-morning hours. That's when forecast models introduce a more widespread area of light rain showers, with chances remaining rather likely into the first few hours of the afternoon. 

Rain will taper off ahead of the evening commute and once it does, our attention for the 4th time this week turn to the potential for dense fog. Visibility Friday night into Saturday morning could drop to 1/4 mile or less.

After this storm system departs, a slightly stronger system will approach the region over the weekend. For the most part, models keep this system well south enough to where most if not all of the rainfall will occur to our south and east.

Because of that, much of the weekend will remain dry with skies remaining cloudy. High temperatures won't change much from what we've had this week, peaking in the mid to upper 30s.
