Dangerous to extreme heat continues across the Southwest U.S., eventually spreading eastward over the weekend into early next week. Elevated fire weather conditions continue across the Great Basin, with degraded air quality lingering across the Northwest. Read More >
Overview
A line of severe thunderstorms initially developed over southeast Iowa on the morning of June 28th, 2018. A moist and unstable airmass out ahead of these storms allowed them to strengthen as they moved southeast, reaching peak intensity as they moved through portions of the northern and eastern St. Louis metro area and western Illinois. Significant and fairly widespread wind damage occurred from these storms Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening, with even a weak tornado hitting near Elsah, IL.Tornadoes:

06/28/2018 Jersey IL NWS Storm Survey
A NWS Damage Survey Team surveyed multiple
areas across southern Jersey County. The
survey team did find one area of
concentrated damage just northwest of Elsah
which it determined was caused by a brief
EF-0 tornado. The tornado touched down about
one quarter mile SSW of the Green Acres Road
and Elsah Road intersection where 3 pine
trees were blown over. The tornado then
removed part of the roof from an out
building on the west side of Elsah Road.
Portions of the roof were found blown across
Elsah Road to the southeast. The tornado
then crossed Lake Drive just west of Red Bud
Court where it twisted a road sign 180
degrees and snapped a number of trees near
their base. The tornado continued southeast
crossing Elsah Road near Joywood Drive where
several trees were again snapped. The
tornado dissipated shortly thereafter.
