We had some showers move through during the afternoon, the only shower remaining is in northern Dekalb County pushing into McHenry county. Now we've got thunderstorms pushing in from the west, some of which are on the strong side. These will continue to push eastward as we go through the evening, and if you live out west there are a couple of things to watch out for.
The main threats for these storms will be downpours and strong winds. Jo Daviess and Carroll counties have the best chances for seeing these, as the storms will gradually weaken afterwards as they push eastwards.
We'll have a few storm systems move through during the evening, but after 7pm the potential for anything severe goes down. As these storms weaken while they track east, a brief strong wind gust will be possible east of Jo Daviess and Carroll counties, but otherwise the storms will weaken quite a bit, and eventually become isolated during the overnight.
This low pressure system to the north will allow the rain to become more scattered again by early Friday morning. That low will slowly track eastward heading towards the weekend, keeping on and off rain in the area through Saturday.
However, once we reach Saturday evening, rain chances will nearly be gone, as this low begins its exit from our area, taking the lingering moisture with it. Afterwards, some dry air will move in from the north, but clouds will linger and keep the sunshine fairly low for the end of the weekend.
With this low slowly moving through, it'll also pull some cooler air into the area, keeping temperatures in the mid 70's heading through the weekend. Temperatures stay generally cool even through next week, with temperatures expected to reach the 80's by mid-week
