Severe thunderstorms with hail and heavy rainfall welcomed the first day of spring Sunday. An amazing 1.67" of rain fell at the Chicago/Rockford Int'l Airport breaking the old record of 0.70" set back in 1933!
All that rain helped locally dense fog to develop early this morning but visibility will gradually improve throughout the morning as dry air moves in. Skies will remain partly to mostly cloudy this afternoon with temperatures reaching 60°.
The heavy rainfall has prompted Flood Advisories for the Rock and Pecatonica rivers in Winnebago and Ogle counties. More rain is expected later tonight and Tuesday.
