National Weather Service Lincoln IL
240 AM CDT Thu Jun 20 2024

.DISCUSSION...

The heat will intensify the rest of this week across central and
southeast IL, with hot and humid conditions lingering into Sunday.
Heat indices will soar into the mid 90s to around 100 degrees each
afternoon, and be highest on Friday and Saturday afternoon. Isolated
showers and thunderstorms will be possible north of I-72 this afternoon
and early evening, and north of Peoria Friday and Saturday afternoon.
A better chance of showers and thunderstorms will arrive from the
northwest during Saturday night as a cold front approaches the IL river
valley. Southwest winds will be 5 to 10 mph today and Friday, and
increase to breezy levels on Saturday. Fair to poor ventilation rates
are expected today across the area, with fair to good vent rates on Friday
in central IL and poor vent rates in southeast IL. Vent rates improve to
good to very good levels on Saturday with stronger winds and higher
mixing heights.
