Severe Weather Breakdown Tuesday

Slight risk for severe weather on Tuesday afternoon as a cold front moves across the Midwest.  Primary concern will be damaging straight line winds.  An isolated tornado can't be ruled out.  Heavy rain may cause flooding in areas east of the Illinois River as well.

Light to moderate showers will move into the area for the morning though the early afternoon.  Storms will pick up intensity as the cold front moves into the state by late afternoon into the early evening.  Line of strong storms should clear the area by late evening.  Here's the break down:

As mentioned earlier, while severe storms are possible, flooding may be the bigger story.  Most area should pick up close to 1" of rain.  Many will pick up nearly 2" of rain, and some could get as high as 2.5" of rain.
