Thursday morning weather update

9:48am Radar Update: A band of heavier rain continues to moves through northern Illinois.  Heavy downpours and reduced visibility can be expected as the rain moves through.  Additional showers moving in towards the Quad Cities.









Heavier rain Wednesday evening brought over an inch of rain for some cities in northern Illinois.  Additional light showers will continue for the next hour or two with a brief break in the rain mid-morning.  The break won't last, however, as the main system currently in the Oklahoma panhandle lifts northeast into Iowa by early afternoon.  This will help with the redevelopment of rain and even thunderstorms later today.

Rain in Missouri will move along the cold front later today with another inch or so of rain falling by tonight.
