Showers expected to dry up

A few showers are being denoted on Doppler Radar late this morning. These showers are moving southwest (in response to an upper-level low pressure system in Ohio). These showers are expected to dwindle as they move into a drier airmass. Dewpoint temperatures are in the 70s across much of Lake Michigan and East-Central Wisconsin while we have much drier air here with a dewpoint temperature of 61° here. While a few showers can be expected northeast of the Rockford metro late this afternoon, the widespread showers and storms should hold off until Friday. -ERIC
