Storms will continue eastbound into Southwestern Wisconsin by 1am. The Storm Prediction Center may issue a new Severe Thunderstorm Watch upstream of watch #635 before 1am. The bow echo over NE Iowa will continue to accelerate to the east and near Green County by 2:30am or so. The new Severe Storm Watch would be needed for damaging wind gusts coming from the bow echo. Additionally, extremely heavy rain has been reported in North Central Iowa Tuesday evening. Doppler radar is estimating 3-5 inches of rainfall in a 3-5 hour timeframe. Heavy rainfall in the order of 1-3 inches is expected in the Rockford metropolitan area...mainly along and north of US Highway 20.Meteorologist Adam Painter and I will update the blog with new information as the storms approach the area. 13WREX will also have our radar on the screen constantly should the flooding threat increase. -ERIC

Didn't I see a tornado signiture on that doppler over IA? is this storm still strong enough to produce a tornado?
Doppler radar spits out mesos and TVS signatures (tornado vortex signature) quite frequently. It still doesn't mean there's a tornado within a storm. -ERIC
