Chances for severe weather downgraded

The Storm Prediction Center has taken the risk of severe weather down a notch. It’s calling for a “Slight” chance of severe weather across much of Illinois Sunday afternoon and tonight. It appears strong winds, heavy rainfall and quarter sized hail may occur in SOME storms Sunday.

The chance for a tornado is small, but cannot be ruled out. Computer models indicate the south winds are pumping in a lot of moisture which can produce heavy rains in some storms today.
