Soggy Monday Morning

Rain showers, with minimal thunder have been lifting to the northeast this morning. A mid-level wave, moving north of our upper low, has triggered showers and storms over central portions of the state. As the complex lifts north, its outrunning the instability found to our south, and its why so far we've had minimal thunder and lightning coverage over the Stateline.

So far radar estimated around .25"-.75" of rain that's fallen, with isolated amounts closer to 1". Coverage of rain will die down closer to if not before the lunch time hour, with then widely scattered to isolated chances afternoon.

The higher threat for storms to develop this afternoon will be to our south over eastern Illinois, in the warm sector of the system. This is south of the warm front where temperatures will be climbing up through the 70's. With some clearing of the cloud cover storms look to redevelop in this area. We keep just a small chance for rain in the afternoon.
