...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.

MCLEANSBORO (WSIL) -- A music producer from McLeansboro will have one of his beats featured on Chicago rapper Polo G's upcoming album.

Nic Wellen is that producer and says he signed a deal with the artist Lil Mosey. That's when he was able to connect with Polo G's team and the two worked on a song called "Zooted Freestyle."

"It's crazy, it's a very crazy feeling because Polo G's been one of my favorite artists since he kind of came out so it's definitely crazy," Wellen said.

He says it's exciting to be a part of the project and wants other artists in the local hip-hop community to follow their dreams!

June is Black Music Month and News 3 asked Wellen why he thinks it's important.

"You can go back in time and listen to older music and you can see the evolution and the sound and see different aspects and similar aspects," he said.

Polo G's album "Hall of Fame" comes out Friday, June 11.
