Following heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms Sunday morning most of the afternoon and evening remained dry. Temperatures were cool - only reaching the mid and upper 50's Sunday afternoon.
Thunderstorms have developed near St. Louis, MO ahead of an area of low pressure. That low will move northward into Illinois by Monday morning. Rain will begin to fall over northern Illinois from the southwest by 4am, with most experiencing rain by 6am. Rain could become heavy at times after 7am with a few embedded thunderstorms possible. Instability remains very low during the morning so no severe weather is anticipated. The low will pass to the east by Monday afternoon but a few lingering showers will be possible through Monday evening.
The heaviest fell over far northern Illinois - from parts of Jo Daviess, Carroll, Stephenson and Winnebago counties - where radar estimated totals were anywhere from one to two inches. An additional half an inch, up to one inch of rain will be possible through Monday evening. Already the month of May has received over three and a half inches, putting Rockford almost an inch and a half
above our monthly normal. With possible another inch of rain coming through Monday morning minor flooding may become a concern.
