9:30pm Update: A Severe T-Storm Watch is now in effect for the entire Stateline until 3:00am.

Original Post: The threat for severe weather will be sticking around the Stateline for the next couple of days. Here's a look at what we're dealing with for our Monday night.

A Severe T-Storm Watch is in effect for Jo Daviess and Carroll Counties until midnight. Not much is expected from this watch as severe weather has been limited to Iowa most of the day.

The bigger event will be overnight. Storms in Nebraska, Iowa, and Minnesota are expected to form a cluster of heavy rain and strong winds, moving into the Stateline after midnight. Models have been suggesting that the worst of this system will stay to our north, but a few stronger storms for the Stateline can't be ruled out.

RPM Model: Tuesday at 1:00am
