While things are pretty quiet out there right now, I am expecting the storms to fire upstream within the next 2-4 hours. The strongest storms will be capable of producing small hail and brief torrential downpours.A complex of thunderstorms is expected to develop in Neb., S.D., and Iowa late this afternoon. As the sun sets, they will get a nice push to the east affecting us late tonight. If these storms move east, we will have less of a hail threat and more of a damaging wind threat.
That's how it looks right now. Other than the humidity, it is definitely a nice day in Rockford so far. I will have my forecast completed by 4pm today. -ERIC

Do we know how much rain to expect tonight into Friday? I know we need some but hope we don't get into the flash flood warnings again.
There is A LOT of precipitable water in the air. However, speculating what we'll get is moot. Some localized spots could see 2-3 inches, but some areas could see less than an inch through the finale on Saturday morning. In any event, our soil can hold 2-3 inches...so long as it doesn't come all at once. -ERIC
