Further south the quick moving line of thunderstorms has now entered into western Kentucky where several tornado warnings remain. Unfortunately, there are reports beginning to come in of injuries, one of them involving a small child. A moderate risk of severe weather has now been issued for Kentucky, Tennessee, far northern Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.
Overnight rain and embedded thunderstorms have moved east this morning with rainfall totals ranging anywhere between 0.20" and 0.50".
Dry air is beginning to wrap around the strong low pressure system in northwest Iowa and this has helped to cut-off the rain here but has allowed a line of strong thunderstorms to develop further south. Initially, this line began in Missouri and has now moved east through Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee were several tornado warnings have been issued.
Closer to home, we'll see some sunshine early this morning as warm air is drawn into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Temperatures will rise into the low 50s this morning before clouds wrap back in around the low. Winds will increase from the southwest with gusts as high as 40 mph. As the clouds move back in there will be a chance for a few light sprinkles/snow showers going into the evening. Temperatures will also fall into the upper 30s/low 40s by this afternoon.
