Just as expected, a line of showers and isolated thunderstorms continues to move through northwest Illinois late Monday evening. This line will move east/northeast through Midnight, pushing to our east by daybreak Tuesday. Severe weather isn't expected tonight but the isolated storms have produced winds in excess of 40 mph, so gusty winds (outside of just the overall increasing wind) will remain a threat until the rain passes. A Wind Advisory has been issued for Whiteside County until 3am Tuesday as wind gusts could reach 50 mph from time to time. So far, our wind gusts have been between 40-45 mph.
As the rain moves across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin it is likely that the wind gusts will increase through 2am, before subsiding ever so slightly Tuesday morning. Even then, southwest winds gusting to 30 mph Tuesday can be expected.
