National Weather Service Issues Severe Weather Alert for Tuesday Afternoon, Evening

 

The National Weather Service in Lincoln issued a special weather statement late Monday afternoon, on the possible threat of severe weather across Central Illinois Tuesday.

The Weather Service says  there will be two rounds of severe weather late this afternoon into this evening. The first round will focus across the Illinois River Valley and generally occur between 4pm and 8pm. 

Scattered supercells will pose a risk for hail larger than golf balls, damaging wind gusts in excess of 70 mph, and strong tornadoes in this area. 

Round 2 will occur later Tuesday night when a line of storms potentially sweeps through all of central and southeast Illinois. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph and isolated tornadoes embedded within the line will be possible.
