Even if you have those Monday feels, we are starting off the work week with plenty of sunshine once again. High pressure centered to the southwest of the region has brought a quiet start to our Monday. The good news is, this high pressure system will continue to influence our region and keep most of our Monday dry. Partly sunny conditions and winds out of the southwest should help temperatures climb into the upper 80s. As warm moist air gets streamed into the region, dew points will hold steady into the upper 60s. So it is definitely going to feel a bit muggy out there. 
As we work our way towards the end of the evening commute, a cold front which is currently draped across the northern Great Plains, will slowly sag to the south bringing with it a chance for thunderstorms. Some of which could be strong to severe. As of the 8 AM update from the Storm Prediction Center, the Enhanced Risk (3 out of 5) has been expanded farther eastward and now includes extreme northwest Jo-Daviess county. This leaves a majority of the Stateline under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5).Models are in agreement that these thunderstorms will be most likely move into the region between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Typically with a line of thunderstorms, the biggest concerns will be gusty winds and also heavy rainfall. During the early morning hours of our Tuesday morning is when we should see conditions begin to wind down. chances for Tuesday are still present. Isolated thunderstorms are possible tomorrow, but coverage doesn’t look as substantial as what it will look like later this evening.A second cold front is set to pass through Wednesday night into Thursday morning and will bring much cooler temperatures to the region for the second half of the week!
