This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for central Illinois, east
central Illinois and southeast Illinois.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Numerous showers and thunderstorms will persist through this
evening. Locally heavy rainfall will be likely, which will cause
rapid rises along area streams and may lead to pockets of flash
flooding in urban and low-lying locations.

A few strong to potentially severe cells will be possible south of
I-70 late this evening...with the highest probability of severe
weather along and south of the I-64 corridor.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

Showers and a few thunderstorms will accompany a warm front Saturday
night. Widespread severe weather is not expected: however, a few of
the strongest cells may produce gusty winds.

The first prolonged heatwave of the summer is on tap for next week
as heat index readings climb well above 100 degrees Monday through
Thursday. As a result, there will be a risk of heat-related illness
in sensitive individuals or those without access to effective
cooling.

Flooding will continue along portions of the Embarras, Little
Wabash, and Wabash Rivers through much of next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated tonight.
