Isolated Storms for Kick off of Winnebago County Fair

The Winnebago County Fair kicks off today in Pecatonica at 4pm! If you decide to head out you'll want to bring the umbrella and keep your eyes to the sky. Through the afternoon today we could see an isolated storm or shower, however rain and storms will be more scattered as we head closer to dinner time tonight and this evening with our next cold front. The front is currently bringing storms to the central and northern plains as well as into Iowa today. The strong storm threat today though will stay slightly west of the Stateline area, but we could get some heavy downpours in any storms today because we have a lot of moisture available in the atmosphere to tap into. We hold onto some of the storms overnight into early Wednesday. Once the front passes Wednesday morning dry air will begin to filter in behind it and will help to bring an end to the rain, from the west to the east. Winds however will pick up behind the front, gusting up to 30mph from the west. Temperatures will also fall into the mid 70's Wednesday and Thursday with the heat slowly rising through the weekend.
