Stormy Pattern Continues

Stormy Pattern Continues

Stormy pattern continues into the overnight. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk for much of Central Illinois tonight.

Previous model runs in decent agreement for scattered T-storms overnight tonight, some of which could be severe at times with gusty winds up to 70 mph and half inch size hail being the primary threat.

More showers and storms continue into Tuesday, again with a slight risk for T-storms.

Main concerns for the next few days of rain is flash flooding. 

Several inches of rain has fell across CI, anywhere from .25" to upwards of 4" in some areas. 

Since there hasn't been much dry time for the ground, new rain showers will become runoff off water and stand on roadways and low lying areas. 

Areas along the Illinois River should pay close attention to river levels for sudden flash flooding. Historic flooding isn't anticipated but warning shouldn't be taken lightly. 

Temperature wise, we stay in the upper 70's and low 80's for much of the week. Could see a nice spike in temperatures on Wednesday in the mid to upper 80's.
