Heat and Storms

A heat advisory and excessive heat warning are in effect for most of central Illinois, as well as the threat for storms across the area.

Let's talk about the heat first.  The hottest air of the season will continue to hover around the Midwest as a cold front lingers off to our west.

We could see a few thunderstorms move through the area in the afternoon.  Any storms that develop could become strong, with gusty winds and heavy rain the primary threats.

Some relief from the high humidity will roll in on Thursday and Friday.
