'NowCast'

(9:17 a.m. Monday announcement)

[March 31, 2008] At 9:15 a.m. a line of strong to severe thunderstorms was affecting parts of west central Illinois from near Galesburg southward to Jacksonville. These storms were moving to the northeast at about 40 mph and should move up to a Peoria-to-Mason City-to-Springfield line between 10 and 10:30 a.m. The strongest storms will likely remain north of the Sangamon River Valley, although radar trends suggest the line continues to develop farther to the south. These storms will produce locally torrential downpours, wind gusts to 40 mph and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. Small hail will also be possible in a few locations. Should this line hold together, it will move into the Bloomington-Normal area around 11 a.m.

[March 31, 2008] There is a slight risk for severe weather Monday, with a greater chance in the late afternoon and evening. A cold front will be passing over Logan County, bringing with it a chance for storms.

Currently a squall line is west of Logan County, causing the issuance of severe thunderstorm warnings in the Illinois River Valley. The line is moving northeast. Current radar tracking indicates the severe weather will move north of Logan County. We might see some moderate rain as the south end of the line moves northeast.

All agencies should monitor NOAA All Hazards Radio or commercial sources as the day progresses.
