1. Storm chances increase this afternoon and evening, with an isolated risk for severe weather
2. Dense fog will be a possibility for those traveling Wednesday morning.
3. Temperatures trend cooler, with the most noticeable drop arriving over the weekend.
The Stateline may see a few showers with the first of two disturbances around the midday hours. However, it is the second wave arriving this evening that will bear watching as the associated cold front could fire up a few thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe. While severe weather is not expected to be widespread, an isolated threat does exist, with strong winds being the primary hazard.
Any chance for rain or thunderstorms should come to an end before midnight, leaving us with the potential for dense fog Wednesday morning. If planning to be on the roads, travel with caution.
After the morning fog lets up, Wednesday is shaping up to be a quiet and pleasant day, with skies turning partly cloudy by the afternoon. Behind tonight's cold front, winds will shift back to the northwest, helping usher in a cooler air mass. That will keep afternoon highs in the upper 70s, providing comfortable conditions for mid-August.
It's also welcoming news fore the final county fair of the summer, the Winnebago County Fair. The chance for rain throughout the fair will be low, allowing most events and activities to stay dry. The only opportunity for rain arrives late Friday into early Saturday as a second cold front sweeps through. Otherwise, expect dry but also cooler-than average conditions as highs remain in the upper 70s into the weekend.
