As a trough in the jet stream continues to deepen in the Southwest U.S., a new low pressure system is starting to strengthen and will make its way across the Central Plains tomorrow. Its warm front will extend eastward from its center and influence weather here in the Rockford area. Humidity is expected to be extremely high tomorrow evening and as this warm front makes its way across the area, it's going to rapidly lift this warm, moist air into the atmosphere triggering strong to severe thunderstorms. The primary concerns with these thunderstorms are going to be strong winds and heavy downpours, although hail is a possibility with these storms as well, especially along the leading edge of this system. The rain should begin to come through a little after 8PM and stick around through about 2AM.
