The main hazards with any storms that develop will be hail the size of a US quarter and a tornado or two, though damaging winds around 60 mph are also possible.

There is a threat for severe thunderstorms today, mainly along a cold front this evening into the overnight hours. The highest threat for severe weather will be at night, so make sure you have warning sources that will wake you up!

After a busy week weather-wise, we deserve a break! Well, just in time for Easter, cooler and dry conditions will take hold. Enjoy!

With March officially in the rearview mirror, we can now say that it was one for the record books! 15 high temperature records fell at our long-term climate sites in the region, with Quincy, IL setting the most of the three sites (6 records). Despite a few very chilly days, this March ranks as one of the warmest on record.
