Another round of severe storms possible across northern Illinois

Storm Reports:

Yesterday's severe weather primarily left behind reports of hail across the region. There is also a possibility that a tornado occurred near Pearl City, though we'll need to wait for the National Weather Service to complete their storm survey before we know for sure what occurred. 

  

More Severe Potential:

We're not out of the woods just yet. Another round of severe weather potential arrives today as a weak low pressure system slides across Iowa. 

The Storm Prediction Center maintained a level 2 Slight Risk for the entire area. 

Fortunately, a few of the main ingredients for severe weather (Shear, Lift, Instability, and Moisture) won't be as plentiful as Tuesday. However, strong straight-line winds and large hail will be the primary concerns with any severe storm between 4PM and 10PM, followed by an isolated tornado. 

   

Brief Break:

Any chance for rain should come to a close during the early stage of Thursday morning. In fact, Thursday gives us a nice but brief break from the active weather pattern as skies will gradually clear. This will leave us partly cloudy with highs in the low 70s.
