Weather Alert

...Funnel clouds will be possible through this afternoon...

There have been reports of funnel clouds today. These funnels
are developing underneath a few showers 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.

These funnels are due to cooler 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.

Pleasant start to the week; humidity & storms chances return midweek

WSIL -- Patchy fog is possible this morning, especially in low-lying and rural areas.

Once the fog mixes out, Monday will be a beautiful day for mid-July with humidity levels below seasonal normals. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s.

Tuesday will remain a decent day, but temperatures start to get a little warmer with highs in the lower 90s.

The mugginess quickly returns Wednesday as a warm front lifts northward. The attention will turn to the chance for storms by Wednesday afternoon and evening. There is a lot of uncertainty regarding the timing and the location of storms, but a large complex of storms moving in from the northwest will be possible.

The Storm Prediction Center has outlined most of our region in a Level 2 (out of 5), "Slight Risk" for severe storms Wednesday.

The active pattern is likely to continue into Thursday and Friday. Once again, timing and location is still uncertain, but stay tuned as we hone in on the finer details as we get closer.
