Never one to give up trying, Nature decided the third time is the
charm and hit the region today with a quick but heavy thunderstorm
at 5:45 a.m. The storm, with winds in excess of 40 mph, hurried
through the area from the northwest, with the brunt of the rain
falling in the Peoria area. The storm once again moved on before
many residents were up and about for the Monday workday.
The weather outlook for Monday and Tuesday shows the potential
for heavy rain and thunderstorm activity throughout the day and
evening hours.
