6:25pm Update: Numerous outflow boundaries/cold pools at the surface are evident on radar this evening as thunderstorms developed south of Rockford. There was one cell in northern Ogle county near Byron that did show some mid-level rotation with it earlier but has since collapsed fairly quickly. Still some rain and maybe gusty winds for Rockford. Other storms have developed south in Whiteside and Lee counties and will continue to produce heavy rain, frequent lightning as well as gusty winds. 
Finally! Rain - for some! The washed out cold front has passed but there are several surface boundaries across the area. This has allowed slow moving showers/storms to develop this afternoon. Right now looks like areas near Carroll, Ogle and DeKalb counties hold the best chance of experiencing brief, but heavy downpours. While severe weather isn't anticipated the storms may produce a few stronger wind gusts as well as heavy rain and frequent lightning. Let us know if you get any rain and how much: weather@wtvo.com
