Check out the graphic below for our current thoughts on how things evolve through the weekend.  Expect showers and isolated storms to become more numerous late tonight into Saturday morning, then we watch a possible complex of storms to target south-central Illinois late Saturday AM into the afternoon.  We’ll develop a complex of storms across northwest Illinois Saturday evening that will dive south Saturday night into early Sunday, encompassing much of the state.  This brings the highest risk of severe storms.  

Total rainfall through the weekend: We note that far northern areas are a bit lower confidence where totals can be a bit less.
