 The dry weather does come to an end this morning in northwest Illinois, first with a large area of rain only, crossing Iowa to then roll across the entire northern half of the state this afternoon and early this evening to end out the week. An encore performance is likely later tonight with a general shift in the rainfall band to be a little bit further to the south, although this time we'll see the thunderstorms roll in from northern Missouri and then ending in east central Illinois at the Indiana border around noon on Saturday.
