Second cold front will bring storms and chills for the start of the weekend

The next cold front will signal some pretty big changes with the weather for the weekend but will also bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Stateline tonight and Friday.

The front extends from northern Minnesota southwest into the central Plains and has been the focus for scattered storm development early this afternoon.  Thunderstorms will likely continue to develop in the area outlined in red from northern Wisconsin to just west of Dubuque, IA later this today with skies remaining fairly quiet across N. Illinois and S. Wisconsin.  As storms increase in coverage to the west they may creep into our northern and northwestern counties (line extending from Monroe to Freeport) this evening with a greater potential for storm development overnight.  Scattered thunderstorms will continue through Friday with the cold front before ending Friday evening.  Temperatures will remain below average through the weekend.
