Thanks to everyone who tuned in and followed along during our live severe weather coverage yesterday. Always nice to get out in the field every once in a while. Always said that marrying the in studio and textbook meteorology with what’s happening for real outside is a great way…
Radar estimated 9” of rain in Brownstown, IL in Fayette county.
7 1/2” of rain in parts of Fayette county just north of Vandalia.
Quite the storm chase today as we were on multiple tornado warned storms. These were down in parts of Shelby and Effingham counties.

Heads up for Saturday! So the SPC already highlighting our area for a slight risk of severe storms. I won't be surprised if this makes it to the next level of enhanced by then. This is a difficult scenario to forecast as it will most likely be a line of storms so I can't nail…
My goodness. Next week not looking good. 115° heat index values not out of the question in about a week from today.
Power outages as of 6:30pm Wednesday evening. Parts of Sangamon, Fayette, McLean, Champaign, and Vermilion counties have the most without power in our area.
Wow look at this shot north of Mattoon from Kevin Webb.
Ominous sky in Champaign as storms move in.

It's happening again. DO NOT DRINK ORDER in Mattoon.
A glance at the upcoming Kevin's weather on the road schedule. Lots of festivals coming up that we will be attending. (OT) stands for the "Our Towns" we are also doing at the events.
