Today's Weather

An area of rain will spread to the north-northeast across the area early this morning, and will last through mid-morning before diminishing, reports the National Weather Service. A rumble or two of thunder is possible this morning. A cold front will then push across the area this afternoon, with isolated to scattered thunderstorms expected to develop along and east of the front, generally east and south of a Pontiac to Chicago line.

A few of these storms may be strong to severe, capable of producing damaging winds and locally heavy downpours. Shower and storms will end from west to east through the afternoon and early evening hours.

Highs in the lower 80s. South winds 5 to 10 mph in the morning becoming southwest in the afternoon.
