Late Monday night and early Tuesday, severe weather rolled through central Illinois and more is on the way.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio the storms of late Monday and early Tuesday were certainly severe in nature. Forecasters were thrown off by Tuesday morning's storms continuing on the way they did.

Shimon says it is important to be prepared during stretches like this. More severe weather is on the way beyond Tuesday and Shimon encourages knowing the lingo of the weather service.

According to Shimon, storm chances will last all the way through Thursday.

Shimon recommends having a weather radio in your home - especially during the overnight when that mobile device is off or on silent or the outdoor sirens cannot be heard.

Keep it to Regional Radio for the latest in those watches or warnings as they are issued and visit weather.gov/lincoln for those weather forecasts and weather information.
