BULLETIN: It's going to rain tonight

9:37am UPDATE: Flash Flood Watch has been cancelled for northern Illinois. I stopped running the crawl at 4am this morning as I felt the widespread rain was already done across the area. This Flash Flood Watch seemed like more of a precautionary measure by the NWS than anything else. -ADAM

A solid line of storms will work into the Rockford area around 12:30am Friday morning. The storms are expected to weaken as they approach the area. While a few wind gusts of 50mph are possible as well as pea-sized hail, widespread severe weather is not anticipated tonight.

Flash Flood Watch will continue for the Rockford metro, points southeast. -ERIC

Running in the rain? Now that is someone who definitely has a glass that is half-full!

We got a nice soaking rain last night with no severe weather reported... just what we like to see. 0.27" of rain was recorded at the Rockford Airport.
