Stormy Mid-Week

Cloud cover will increase today, leading to a chance of storms by this afternoon. A few sprinkles are trying to materialize this morning, but most of us will have to wait until later to see any activity. The storms will form as a wave of upper level energy interacts with a stalled out cold front in central Illinois. 

If you’re headed to the Taste of Peoria, you may want to bring an umbrella just to be safe. The scattered storms will keep today’s highs in the mid 80s. 


A few more thunderstorms are possible overnight, with lows dropping back into the mid 60s. A stronger storm system will move in from the north on Thursday, bringing rain chances back tomorrow afternoon. A few of these storms could be strong to severe, with large hail and damaging winds as the primary threat. 



The storms will form a line and move southeast by Thursday night, allowing for clearing into Friday. Temperatures behind these storm systems will drop into the upper 70s and low 80s through the weekend. We’ll likely stay sunny for the weekend and into early next week.  Our next chance at storms will come by the middle of next week.
