(11:15PM – Monday, April 28th, 2025) Monday night update on a storm system moving through the region, which will bring waves of shower and t’storm activity to the state from late tonight/early Tuesday morning through Tuesday evening. Severe t’storms will be possible with some of this activity.

Timing…
•Early Tuesday Morning – Tuesday Evening, April 29th.

Location…
•Central & Southern Illinois.

Impacts…
•A level 1 severe t’storm threat is in place across Central and Southern Illinois, for the likelihood of isolated severe t’storms.
•Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats with activity.

Update…
•With this update, no changes were needed, as the going forecast is on track.

Discussion…
•A cold front will press into portions of Northern Illinois tonight, bringing with it the chance of isolated to scattered showers and t’storms. As this front presses further across the state between early Tuesday morning into Tuesday evening, more widespread and organized shower and t’storm will be likely in waves across the state, especially across portions of Central and Southern Illinois. Environmental conditions will be supportive of a severe t’storm threat with some of the activity across Central and Southern Illinois between early Tuesday morning and Tuesday evening.
