Weather Update As Of 11:20AM..........Wind Advisories Are Out For The Area!!!!!

Yes, we have the Wind advisories out again for the area. This is because we are still expecting the winds to be gusting outside of storms between 30 and 35 mph and in storms gusting between 40 and 45 mph at times. Yes, I still think the winds will be one of the main threats today. Now the timing for the rain to start is looking after 7:pm around 8:pm tonight and still severe weather threats are staying low with the latest CAPE Values and Lifted Index staying low. Rainfall still between a Half inch and three quarters of an inch possible. Flooding is not looking like a threat tonight which is great news..........Here is a look at the Satellite Radar Image of the system heading our way here before long. And I still look for it to weaken as it gets closer with any possible severe weather staying to our West in IL, I will check back as needed through out the day today with more updates!You can see the storms following the cold front. This is why to time the storm you first need to time the front! We are looking for that high today near 70* degrees however after the cold front pushes through and that cooler air starts to fill in we will soon start to fall temperature wise once again. I will check back soon..........

Here are the current Wind Advisories posted below for our area.
