DISCUSSION
A FEW MORE BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK EASTWARD
ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST IL THROUGH EARLY EVENING, AND BE MOSTLY
EAST OF I-55 BY SUNSET. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH
EAST OF I-55 DURING MID AND LATE EVENING. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD
BE STRONG TO SEVERE ALONG WITH HEAVY RAINS. BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST
WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL SWITCH WESTERLY DURING THIS EVENING AS A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVES TUESDAY NIGHT, ESPECIALLY FROM I-72 SOUTH. FAIR
TO GOOD VENT RATES WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH WET FUELS WILL
NOT BE FAVORABLE FOR BURNING. POOR VENT RATES ON TUESDAY WILL IMPROVE
TO VERY GOOD LEVELS ON WEDNESDAY WITH BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS AND DRY
CONDITIONS RETURNING.
