Rainy start this morning

10:30am Update: Back edge of the rain showers continue to fizzle and move across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin this morning.  Look for these to be out of the area around the Noon hour.  The clouds extending back through western Iowa have been thinning some and as an area of low pressure kicks out of central Kansas later this afternoon, this is likely where the stronger storms will develop.  If we manage to see sunshine through the afternoon it is possible that as the warm front lifts northward we could get a few stronger storms.  However, if we're slow to clear then our storm threat wouldn't be too significant.



7:30am Update: A warm front draped across southern Iowa and northern Illinois has been the focus for a few showers and even stronger storms this morning.  The heaviest of the rainfall has remained well south of the immediate Stateline where some locations have picked up over an inch or so of rain in a little over an hour. 

Now, showers will continue just to the south of the Wisconsin/Illinois border as they move east.  Some of the heavier rain is moving through Lee and DeKalb counties.  Some clearing is noted along the Mississippi River, but it's not too far behind that there is another area of showers moving into northeast Iowa.  Look for these showers to continue through this morning with a little clearing by early this afternoon.
