Stay weather alert

***POST EXPIRED*** 4/26 @ 1pm: The risk for severe weather returns to the region Monday afternoon, though the bulk of the severe weather is forecast to occur south of the local area in eastern Iowa and Illinois. With the local area residing on the north side of the severe weather risk area, there is increasing uncertainty on the coverage and severity of the storms, driven by how any morning storms unfold. If conditions line up just right, there is a narrow window in the mid to late afternoon for storms to produce large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Bottom line, stay weather aware through the afternoon on Monday and be ready to seek indoor shelter should severe storms approach your location.
