WEATHER COVERAGE.

THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT RADAR.

IT IS 5:00 AND ALL AFTERNOON,

WE'VE BEEN TRACKING TORNADO

WARNING AND TORRENTIAL

DOWNPOURS.

OUR WEATHER TEAM HAS BEEN

PORING OVER ALL THE

INFORMATION.

HERE IS INTERSTATE 88 AS

PEOPLE WERE HEADING HOME FROM

WORK AND YOU CAN SEE HOW THE

MOVEMENT OF THIS CELL WAS

RIDING RIGHT ALONG 88, NOW,

THINGS HAVE QUIETED DOWN

CONSIDERABLY.

THAT IS GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE

IN KANE COUNTY.

WE HAVE THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY

LEFT OVER FROM THE INTENSE CELL

THAT SPINS OFF THAT COOL AIR

AND PUSHES IT ALONG THE SURFACE

THAT.

CAN INSTIGATE A STORM LATER.

THIS IS HISTORY OF THE HAIL.

HAIL FOR MAYBE AN INCH IN

SPOTS.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY OFFICIAL

STORM REPORTS FROM STORM

SPOTTERS JUST YET BUT WHAT WE

KNOW THAT THE RAIN-COOLED AIR

TO THE NORTH IS HELPING PUT A

LID ON THE STABILITY FACTOR

ITSELF AND ALONG THIS BOUNDARY

WHERE WE'RE FOCUSING FOR

ACTIVITY LATER ON AND WE SEE

THE CONTRAST IN THE

TEMPERATURE, IT IS 90-DEGREE IN

THE QUAD CITIES.

88 IN PEORIA.

75 AT CHICAGO'S LAKEFRONT.

WHAT WE'LL SEE TONIGHT IS RAIN

COME BACK AT US.

THE MAIN COLD FRONT THAT TO BE

COMING THROUGH AN THAT COULD

CREATE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOUR

ESPECIALLY TOWARD MORNING.

MONTHLIES ROB ELLIS IS TALKING

ABOUT WHY ALL THOSE ELEMENT ARE

COMING TOGETHER AND HOW THAT

WILL PLAY OUT FOR US.

YOU MENNED THE FRONT JUST

SITTING THERE.

THE STORM ENCOUNTERED THE

COOLER AIR AND STABLE EYED

THINGS AND COLLAPSED IT.

THERE IS MORE ENERGY TO WORK

WITH FARTHER TO THE SOUTH.

I THINK AS YOU LOOK AT THE

BOUNDARIES YOU WERE MENTIONING,

WE COULD SEE SOME REDEVELOPMENT

ALONG THAT TAPPING INTO SOME OF

THAT MUCH WARMER AIR THAT IS

STILL IN PLACE.

I THINK THAT WILL BE THE CASE

OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

I DO THINK WE HAVE A BETTER

CHANCE OF SOME STORMS

OVERNIGHT.

MAYBE NOT THE SEVERE VARIETY

BUT THESE COULD BE PRODUCING

SOME EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN

BECAUSE IT IS JUST SO HUMID

OUTSIDE.

AFTER THAT MOVES THROUGH,

THINGS CHANGE SOME A BY WAY.

TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS TO

THE DEW POINT.

STICKY AND HUMID.

THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO DEAL

WITH FOR THE THE STORMS.

THEN THE BOTTOM FALLS OUT AND

THE DRIER AIR RUSHES IN.

THIS WILL SET US UP FOR A BY

PATTERN CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO

THE WEEKEND.

MARY KAY WILL HAVE MUCH MORE ON

THE WEEKEND FORECAST AND WHAT

YOU CAN EXPECT.

THANK YOU FOR WALKING US

THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

THIS IS A WALL CLOUD

CAPTURED BY KYLE PITTMAN.

HE SPOTTED IT WEST OF HERE

BETWEEN HINCKLEY AND WATERMAN.

CAN YOU SEE THE CLOUD SHOWS

SOME POTENTIAL ROTATION BUT

NEVER TOUCHES THE GROUND TO

BECOME A TORNADO.

AND JUST ABOUT 20 MINUTES

AGO, THE TORNADO SIRENS WENT

OFF IN BIG ROCK AS SOME LIGHT

RAIN FELL.

YOU COULD HEAR IT THANKFULLY AS

ROB AND MARY KAY SAID.

THE TORNADO THREAT IS OVER FOR

NOW.

MEANWHILE IN McHENRY, THEY ARE

STILL TRYING TO DEAL WITH ALL

THE RAIN FROM OVERNIGHT.

HOUR AFTER THE RAIN, STREETS

ARE STILL FLOODED.

POLICE SHUT DOWN ROUTE 31

BECAUSE OF HIGH WATER AN WITH
