Warnings, Watches, and Advisories
Heat Advisory for Fountain, Warren, Vermillion, Parke, Tippecanoe, Montgomery Counties in Indiana until 8PM EDT Wednesday.
Heat Advisory for Champaign, Vermilion Counties in Illinois until 7PM CDT Wednesday.
Some of us had a loud morning Tuesday as severe thunderstorm went over part of Indiana and Illinois. Most of the storm damage reports that came in was for wind damage, mainly straight line wind damage. Our tornadoes chances for the summer are low, but our wind damage chances are high. We do have another chance of strong storms overnight thanks to what is giving us this hot weather. A strong ridge of high pressure aloft is causing a heat dome and pushing everything our way. The jet stream is also near this heat dome. Put the jet stream and hot dome together and you get this “Ring of Fire” where thunderstorms will fire off. This is normal for the summer months, so do not think the world is ending.
Overnight: Chance of showers and thunderstorms, we will stay warm thanks to mostly cloudy skies with lows in the lower 70s.
Wednesday and Wednesday Night: A warm front will lift northward during the day. Behind the front we will see temps reach the upper 90s to low 100s and it will be breezy with wind gust from 20-30MPH. Heat index will be above 100. The overnight hours will only be worse with skies staying partly cloudy, but lows reaching the upper 70s, just making it down right muggy. An isolated chance with mostly sunny skies for the daytime and about a 25% chance of rain during the overnight.
Thursday thru Friday: A cold front with a trough of low pressure will move in Thursday and Thursday Night giving us a higher chance of showers and thunderstorms. See the Severe Weather Risk for more details. While it still will be hot on Thursday, temps will reach around 90, but still on the humid and breezy side. Overnight heading back to near normal lows in the upper 60s. Some storms could still stay around on Friday, but the sun will be out for about most of the time and highs back to near normal in the mid to upper 80s.
Weekend: We might see a small cell or two early Saturday morning, mainly when we are sleeping. Otherwise, high pressure in the north moves in and we have sunshine for both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the mid 80s.
Monday and Tuesday: Watching a warm front for the start of week that could bring us more showers and thunderstorms. Right now, models are keeping the temps for both days near normal.
Severe Weather Risk: We do have a chance of seeing some strong storms during the overnight hours. Damaging winds is going to be the main overall threat. Small hail, heavy rainfall, and dangerous lighting cannot be ruled out. Slight Risk of severe weather Thursday for the Illiana area. Main overall threat looks to be damaging winds, large hail cannot be ruled out. Dangerous lighting and heavy rainfall is also forecasted to happen. Friday, Monday, and Tuesday storms do look to be on the strong side right now, but a few isolated severe ones may happen.
