The Cooling Of The Cold Front!! Could It Bring Storms??

OK bloggers here is the latest on what we have to expect for the rest of this evening into tonight!

We are tracking a cold front that will push through the area later on tonight into tomorrow / Sunday! This will cool us off some however it is also firing up some storms in areas of IL, as we can already see on the national views of the Doppler Radar's. This is the line that will make a move on the WLFI viewing area later on tonight! (HOWEVER) The good news is the latest model runs are showing this line weakening as it moves into our more stable atmosphere. Currently our Lifted index is around +8.0 which is GREAT!! And my latest models are not showing anything severe for tonight at this time! The SPC also agrees with my forecast as they have taken us out of the severe risk area for tonight! Still we have the chance at some scattered thundershowers possible later on late tonight sometime closer / after 2:00am early Sunday morning. Rainfall is currently expected to be anywhere between a Tenth inch to a Quarter inch possible. We will see winds try to pick up a slight bit more as the night goes on into early Sunday however they are only looking to be between 20 and 25 mph with a few gusts to 28 mph possible.

Over all at this time I think we miss out on the worst! However thundershowers cannot be ruled out just yet! So everyone enjoy your weekend! I will be here tonight watching things (Only to be safe) However things look good at this time! ;)

Have a good one!

Glad you are at the helm, Justin! You and Chad sure keep us informed and we appreciate that! I am hoping that line does down a lot before reaching us.

Beautiful Sunday morning, the temp is climbing along with the humidity, Glad I got my yard work done early this morning.

I was surprised at how many were out mowing a doing yard work at 8:00 am. I was afraid I would wake those who could be sleeping in , not..they were already out.

Did get hot though.

Have a wonderful Sunday, a nice day for a cookout.

Muuuuuuuuuch cooler today. Hate to say it but the wind is a nice treat to the recent stale air over the past few days.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
