As if March weather hasn't put Illinoisans through the ringer enough, more severe weather is on the way to round out the week and through the weekend.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Ed Shimon at the National Weather Service in Lincoln told Regional Radio, heavy rains are anticipated Thursday night. There could be the threat of severe weather with these storms. 

South central and southern Illinois were hit hard by storms a few weeks ago. Shimon indicates more severe weather is in store for that part of the State. The highest risks of severe weather are Thursday night and Sunday night. 

According to Shimon, Illinois sits in a volatile place right now with cold Canadian air just to the north and warm air just to the south. He indicates those two opposites are creating the windy conditions we've seen throughout March. We'll have more on those windy conditions tomorrow on Regional Radio.
