Rainfall Ramps Up Tuesday Afternoon and Evening



Cloud cover will continue to thicken up Monday night into Tuesday morning, with rain chances increasing by Tuesday afternoon.

Low pressure will move across southern Canada as a cold front pushes through Midwest and Great Lakes Tuesday afternoon and evening.  Increasing moisture ahead of the front will allow cloud cover to thicken up during the morning and showers to develop during the afternoon and evening. 

Rain showers, and even isolated thunderstorms, will develop between 1pm and 3pm as the cold front passes to the east of Rockford Tuesday evening.  Severe weather isn't expected, but some of the thunderstorms could contain heavy rainfall and even gusty winds.  As the front moves through, fog will be possible through the evening until drier air moves in helping to clear skies during the overnight.

Rainfall totals will be up near half an inch in some locations, but potentially higher east and southeast of Rockford.
