Today’s Video:
Total rainfall into Wednesday afternoon shows that areas north and west will have the highest coverage of rainfall in the short-term, with 1-2″ rain potential up there through noon Wednesday.
We’ll see a dry period late morning into the afternoon as winds crank up and temperatures soar. Storm risks will move back into western Illinois mid to late afternoon Wednesday (3-6pm), advancing east through our evening with an isolated damaging wind threat and possibly an isolated tornado or two.
