Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued for the Overnight

It has been an interesting few days watching the severe weather virtually split Howard County. Even today's morning storms skirted north or wait to become severe when it was just east of us in Grant County.

However this evening into the overnight has some of the best severe conditions we have seen in more than a month, maybe more. The good news is the worst should be in Illinois and may make a slide south of our area with the heaviest stuff.

We have a couple of hours before the storms begin here so take a moment check the batteries in the weather radio. You might need it before the night is over.
