Strong/Severe Storms Tonight & Overnight

Strong/Severe Storms Tonight & Overnight

Strong to severe storms are likely tonight into the overnight. Models suggest strongest storms to be in northern Missouri, southwest Iowa and western edge of Illinois. While severe weather isn't expected for  most of central Illinois according to the NWS, there is still the chance an isolated tornado could produce. Main threat for central IL tonight/overnight is strong winds and hail.

Model redevelopment of storms overnight looks guaranteed. Again heavier rainfall in the northwest of IL but a strong line pushes through the entire area bringing heavy rain totals, strong winds and hail again. There will be periods of off/on rain through Sunday morning but brief. Cold front finally pushes through by late Sunday Afternoon/early evening; which is when rain & clouds will decrease.

Rainfall totals look pretty uniform across the region. Most all of central IL will get a minimum of .75" and stretching to over 2" in the northwest.
