Two rounds of severe thunderstorms are possible through Tuesday in central IL. The first will move into west-central IL from the west early this morning and into east-central IL late this morning through afternoon. The second looks to arrive in west-central IL early in the morning Tuesday, and move into east-central IL a few hours after sunrise and potentially continue until early evening. Hazards both days will be damaging wind gusts of 60 mph or greater and large hail 1 inch diameter or larger. Isolated tornadoes are possible as well. Predictability of timing remains low for Tuesday, so check back for updates, especially if you have outdoor plans that may be affected.
