...Gusty Thunderstorms with Small Hail and Cold Air Funnel Clouds
through Early Tonight...

Gusty thunderstorms capable of producing cold air funnel clouds
and small hail are forecast through early tonight. These cold air
funnels are developing underneath thunderstorms that are moving
across the area. Underneath these showers...spinning columns of
air that look like tornadoes may continue to develop. These
funnels usually are very brief and rarely touch the ground. If
these funnels do touch down...they most likely will not cause
damage to life or property.

Cold air funnels are due to very cool air aloft...warm moist air
near the ground...and are usually in association with a strong
area of low pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere. Due to
little or no wind shear...they are usually weak and very brief.

Apogee leadership development event coming to Marion

The Marion Chamber of Commerce will host a leadership development program on October 24, 2024, and organizers say, it is unlike any other skill building event in the area. 

MARION, Ill., (WSIL) -- The Marion Chamber of Commerce will host a leadership development program on October 24, 2024, and organizers say, it is unlike any other skill building event in the area. Apogee is a longstanding program that includes continuing education credits, as well as a good "refresher" on leadership skills and an opportunity for networking.

According to organizers, the program is also meant to motivate groups/employees through the final quarter of the year. The strategies introduced should help invigorate the workforce, as well as drive new skills.

The two guest speakers will be Jess DaSilva and Brittany Dawson, who are said to draw from their travels and experiences and share them back in southern Illinois. You'll also hear from their "Local Leader Panel," comprised of more than 100 years of experience. The local panel includes Roman Basi, William Davis, Bernadette Engram and Goldie Robinson.

Apogee is set from 8 a.m. through 3 p.m. at the Pavilion in Marion. You can find more information or register at:
