[July 21, 2008]  For the third morning in a row, Logan County residents found early rain to go with their morning coffee and breakfast. The Saturday and Sunday rain showers were mild and left the area before most people were out and about on weekend activities.

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.

Weather Underground "NowCast" as of 8:13 a.m. CDT on July 21:

"Severe Thunderstorm Watch 714 in effect until noon CDT today... An area of showers and thunderstorms will push across the region this morning. Torrential rainfall...frequent lightning and wind gusts to 45 mph are possible with the stronger storms through 930 am."

Live Doppler radar shows a line of severe storms from the upper northwest moving in a southeast direction, with the brunt of the storms appearing to stay farther to the north this morning.

LDN will keep you posted of any potential dangerous weather activity as reports come in on the emergency weather report system.
