Thunderstorms will move into west central Illinois around mid
morning, quickly moving east and persisting into the afternoon. By
early evening, most of the storms will be east of I-55, and will move
out of east central Illinois by late evening. The storms will be
capable of producing damaging winds, hail, and a few tornadoes. In
addition, heavy rainfall may produce areas of flooding.

04/26/2026

All of Illinois remains in a level 3 (enhanced) risk of severe weather on Monday. All severe hazards are possible, including tornadoes and very large hail, though the hail threat will be more focused over western Illinois. Uncertainty remains in whether morning storms and cloud cover linger through the afternoon, limiting heating (fuel) and lowering the severe weather risk with evening storms.
