Good Wednesday morning! We’ve got a bit of a severe weather risk locally today, beginning late morning and lasting into the afternoon hours. An area of low pressure will lift into central Illinois this morning, and scattered thunderstorms may begin to erupt ahead of it between 10 AM - 12 PM. The primary risk with any severe storms locally will be isolated tornadoes and wind gusts to 60 mph, with the most likely time frame for severe weather in the immediate Champaign County/east-central Illinois vicinity being focused between 11 AM - 3 PM today. The severe weather risk will fade this evening, but scattered showers and storms will remain possible into the overnight. We’ll turn sunny, hot, and humid heading into the weekend.
