Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- We have another chance for severe weather tonight.
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible (5 percent chance) this evening as a line of thunderstorms develops to the west and sweeps eastward into central IL. The primary threats are damaging wind gusts to 60 mph or greater and large hail 1 inch diameter or larger, but an isolated tornado is possible as well, mainly in western IL.
Locally heavy rain could also bring a threat of flash flooding if it falls in urban or poor drainage areas. Stay weather aware, be ready to take shelter indoors when storms approach, and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
