Late Sunday evening weather update

11:20pm Update: The overall trend appears to be for the line of storms in Eastern Iowa to weaken, however, wind gusts to 55 mph are still possible even though all the warnings have been canceled.  There have been a few additional thunderstorms popping up in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin that have been heavy rain producers, but nothing severe.

Ahead of the main line of thunderstorms, a gust front, or outflow boundary, has developed, as indicated by the wind line on the radar.  This could cause a few stronger wind gusts ahead of the main line of thunderstorms.


A few widely scattered weaker cells have developed ahead of a main line of thunderstorms in Eastern Iowa. 

This line is currently moving to the east around 45 mph, and looks to hold together while it moves into Northwest Illinois.  Wind gusts 50-55 mph will be possible, but also pea to quarter sized hail may occur.
