Stormy Start to the Weekend

All new weather webcast can be found at the right hand portion of you screen.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL:  Should be a good one for week 8 of the high school football season.  Clouds will slowly increase during the mid evening hours.  Kick off temps in the lower 50's, and with the clouds building in we shouldn't see too much sway in the end of game temps, hovering near 50 for the drive home.

TONIGHT:  Increasing clouds.  A few showers could develop after midnight.   Lows in the upper 40's and lower 50's

STORMS TOMORROW:   Warm front will pass overnight, putting us in a warm sector of storm system.  Cold front will not arrive to the region until late Saturday night.  Strongest severe potential looks to be well west of central Illinois, back into southern Iowa and northern Missouri.  We still remain on the eastern edge of the standard slight risk, issued by the storms predictions center.  Damaging winds, with an isolated tornado will be the primary concerns.  Storms should clear the area by Sunday morning.


DRYING OUT FOR END OF WEEKEND:  As mentioned before, storms should make their way out of the area by Sunday morning.  Partly cloudy skies and cooling temperatures will continue into the afternoon.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SATURDAY:  The Illinois State Redbirds are at home against Youngstown State (1pm), and the Illinois Wesleyan Titans are at home against Carthage College (1:30pm).  Scattered showers & storms can be expected, with some severe storms possible.  Game time temps should be in the upper 60's.  University of Illinois Fighting Illini will head up to the "Big House" in Ann Arbor, Michigan to take on the University of Michigan (2:30pm).    Mostly cloudy conditions with the threat for scattered showers through much of the afternoon.  Game time temp should be in the mid to upper 50's.
