Rain and embedded thunderstorms move in late Tuesday night

 

Non-severe thunderstorms will move across northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin Tuesday night, lasting through Wednesday morning. Pockets of heavy and steady rainfall will be possible through the night, but the highest rainfall totals are expected to occur over central and eastern Iowa. There, rainfall totals of nearly two inches could come down.

Closer to home rainfall totals between a quarter and three quarters of an inch will be more common, but a few spots could come close to an inch if repeated rounds of heavy rainfall come through. This is most likely west and southwest of Rockford. Most of the rain will be wrapping up mid to late morning Wednesday but a few showers could last through Noon. Mostly cloudy skies will then take us into the rest of the afternoon.
