Friday similar to Tuesday storm system. The low will track through southern IL bringing the possibility of severe weather to our southern counties.
We will see the chance of thunderstorms around here, but nothing should be severe. See outlook below:


.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TOWARD MORNING MAINLY SOUTH OF
THE ILLINOIS AND KANKAKEE RIVER VALLEYS.

PORTIONS OF THE KANKAKEE AND ILLINOIS RIVERS WILL REMAIN IN FLOOD
TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH MANY OTHER RIVERS NEARING BANK FULL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

PORTIONS OF THE KANKAKEE AND ILLINOIS RIVERS WILL REMAIN IN FLOOD
WITH MANY OTHER RIVERS NEARING BANK FULL.

ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FROM FRIDAY...
PERIODICALLY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL PREVENT NEARLY
SATURATED SOILS FROM DRYING. THUS ANY ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO FILTER INTO THE SOILS AND INSTEAD BECOME RUNOFF.
THIS WILL CAUSE CONTINUED FLOODING AND ELEVATED STREAM FLOW ON
RIVERS THAT ARE ALREADY HIGH WITH ADDITIONAL FLOODING POSSIBLE ON
THE REMAINING RIVERS. IN ADDITION...AREAL FLOODING AWAY FROM
RIVERS WILL ALSO NEED TO BE MONITORED.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH
SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
80. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE.

PERIODIC THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WEEKEND AND
INTO NEXT WEEK.
