Storms remain possible throughout the afternoon

Skies have remained partly sunny through a good portion of the morning and that has allowed instability and moisture to increase some ahead of a cold front extending through central Wisconsin and northeast Iowa. 

As the front continues to slowly progress eastward this afternoon, thunderstorms will remain possible through the evening.  There are, however, a couple limiting factors.  The main area of low pressure, both in the lower and upper levels, is well to the north so even though the front will help to generate lift we won't have a whole lot of energy.  So any storms that would develop would likely remain below severe limits.  Should storms form this afternoon, it would probably be after 2pm.  Heavy rainfall and even hail would be possible.
