Weather Alert

...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.

Rainy weather continues, Sunday we start to dry out

Rain at the station

CARTERVILLE, Ill. (WSIL) -- Rain is continuing to come down on Saturday but we see a light at the end of the tunnel as it looks to end on Sunday.

It's been a long week full of storms which have brought tornadoes, hail, high winds and flash flooding. Saturday evening is the main focus we need to watch out for as the constant heavy rain is causing many roads, creeks and fields to flood.

Furthermore, the rivers are continuing to climb which will create major flooding for some communities along these rivers.

Temperatures will stay steady around 46 degrees throughout the evening with winds at about 10-15 mph.

On Sunday, chances for rain are still in place for the early part of the day, however, they will move out of the area and we will finally start drying off. High temps will range in the mid 40s with the low at around the freezing mark.

The rest of the week we are rebounding and will see some sun with temps climbing each day to about up to 70 on Thursday.
