After a couple days of highs in the middle 80's, the mid 70's won't feel too bad this afternoon. That's because the cold front that was responsible for the heavy rain and flooding in southern Wisconsin and far northern Illinois Tuesday evening has passed south of the Stateline. As of 12:30pm, the front sits from roughly south of a line from Chicago to Sterling to Dubuque, IA. Building instability has been enough to get showers and a few thunderstorms to fire up from La Salle westward towards Davenport and Cedar Rapids.
Along and south of the cold front is where thunderstorms are expected to develop going into the afternoon. While a few showers and even a rogue thunderstorm can't be ruled out closer to home this afternoon, the greater potential for storms will be south and west of Rockford.
High pressure will move into the picture later tonight and Thursday pushing the front even further south meaning skies should stay dry going into the start of the weekend. The end of the weekend into early next week could be a bit of a different story. A little more active weather pattern setting up for the beginning of June could be in store. More on that coming up in later posts!
