Wet and cool Father's Day with steady rain showers

 Unfortunately, the forecast for Sunday is not nearly as pleasant as Saturday was with steady rain arriving by early afternoon. Rain will begin as early as 9-10AM for some of our Southwestern Counties and continue to spread Northeast through early afternoon. Southeast Wisconsin may not see rain start until after 12PM.

Steadier rain will be likely for everyone by early afternoon, with hourly rainfall rates near 0.25"/hr at times. A few rumbles of thunder will be possible as well, particularly in Southern portions of the area. While the heaviest rain will exit after 6PM, pockets of light to steady rain will persist into the night.

Temperatures will reach into the low 70s before/as rain starts but drop through the afternoon into the mid-60s as rain picks up in intensity. Winds will also pick up through the afternoon, gusting near 25-30 mph at times from the East.

Rainfall will add up much quicker for some compared to others. South of I-88 will see the highest rainfall totals, with some picking up between 1.0-1.5" or more. Between about I-88 and the IL/WI state line, you can expect between 0.5-1.0" of rain. Far NW Illinois and Southern Wisconsin may only see 0.25-0.5" of rain.
