Saturday evening weather update

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for Carroll and Whiteside counties until 9pm, while a new Severe Thunderstorm Watch has just been issued for Winnebago, Boone, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb and McHenry counties until 2am.

While there were a few pop-up showers earlier this afternoon a line of thunderstorms south of Davenport, IA have crossed over the Mississippi River and are beginning to take on a bow echo configuration.  While it appeared as if the line has weakened a bit it's likely there will be some redevelopment as it enters into an atmosphere that remains moderately unstable.  These storms are currently moving northeast and may affect the southern portions of the WTVO viewing area.  Stay with WTVO for the latest updates.
