Storm Team 3: Severe storms possible Today and Friday
Let's have a fabulous Thursday! StormTeam 3 will have back-to-back Weather Aware Days as our severe weather risk for today and Friday has increased. Two rounds of soaking rain and t-storms arrive in the afternoon and continue through the evening over those two days.
Our first round of rain arrives by mid-afternoon as storms begin to bubble up across VipirRadar. heavy rain and severe storms will continue increasing through the evening commute.
The biggest concern on Thursday will be widespread heavy rain. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 2″ per hour with some of the stronger cells that develop. Localized street flooding will be a possibility this evening.
As our severe weather risk has increased, the main severe threat will be damaging wind gusts of 40 -60+ mph. There is a low end risk of quick spin-up tornadoes.
Be sure to pack your patience this evening as rain will be blinding at times and take it slow. If you don't HAVE to be on the road this evening, I recommend waiting until the storms have passed.
Friday's storms will be moving through the area ahead and along a cold front. It will be a breezy day even outside rain showers and storms. Heavy rain threat continues with the possibility of scattered severe storms
Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will again be the main threat. Hail and isolated spin-up tornadoes are possible. The low end tornado risk continues tomorrow.
Storms on Friday will begin to move in from the west around the mid afternoon hours and will continue through the evening.
It is a good idea to think about what you would do in the event that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors.
You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable, even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted.
Another great tool to have ready is the WSAV Weather NOW app which can receive weather alerts directly to your mobile device anywhere you are. It is free and is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Storm Team 3 will have you covered as conditions change, stay tuned for the latest forecast.

Storm Team 3: Scattered rain likely again on Thursday
The coastal low-pressure system that we have been tracking for several days will continue to spin over the southeastern U.S. on Thursday. This will lead to more scattered rain and some isolated thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and into the evening. Heavy rainfall is expected at times Thursday afternoon and evening. Localized rain totals may be between 1-2″ with the highest totals being along the coast or just inland. Western counties, more toward middle Georgia, will receive less rain. A strong southerly to onshore flow will continue to lead to dangerous surf and rip currents for Georgia and South Carolina beaches. If you are heading out on a smaller watercraft, exercise cautions as seas will be around 3-5.' Winds offshore will be SW 10-20 kts. A slightly drier pattern will begin to set up on Friday and will continue into Saturday. Afternoon highs will be able to reach the low to mid 90s both days which may lead to isolated strong to severe storms late Friday and again on Saturday. At this time, damaging wind gusts will be the main concern. An unsettled pattern will begin to set up on Sunday with slightly higher rain chances staying with us. Scattered rain is expected Sunday through Wednesday with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

What a mess outside. And at the airport, too. As South Florida gets pounded by heavy rain with flooding advisories this week, travelers are facing delays at the Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports. An hour ground stop for arriving planes at MIA backed up flights by an average of four hours Monday afternoon and evening, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The delays ran about an hour at FLL. The delays dissipated early Tuesday, according to the FAA, but more heavy rain and flooding are expected through the day and into Wednesday. Online flight trackers can help you check the status of arrivals and departures at Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The tools are simple to use and can be filtered by time range, city and airline. You can also sort by arrival or departures.

How to check your flight status at FLL FLL's flight tracker works by flight or route. To use it, you'll need to know the date, along with the airline carrier and flight number, or the departure and arrival airport.

NWS upgrades to cause local NOAA Radio Outage
LINCOLN, Ill. (WCIA) – A planned National Weather Service upgrade to computer software through the local National Weather Service Office in Lincoln will lead to some temporary changes and outages in services offered by them. This is due to the required, scheduled upgrade to the office's Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) happening at various times to all offices around the country. The AWIPS system is utilized to display and integrate weather and water information as well as to send life-saving information including weather warnings to the public. The upgrades will begin at around 7:00 A.M. on Tuesday, June 3rd and last through approximately 4:00p on Thursday, June 5th. One major impact of this upgrade is all NOAA Weather Radio transmitters operated through the NWS Office in Lincoln will be offline during that time. Those impacted towers that will be offline and unavailable to use from Tuesday through Thursday are: Bloomington: KZZ-65 (162.525 MHz, channel 6) Champaign: WXJ-76 (162.550 MHz, channel 7) Galesburg: KZZ-66 (162.400 MHz, channel 1) Jacksonville: WXM-90 (162.525 MHz, channel 6) Newton: KXI-48 (162.450 MHz, channel 3) Paris: KXI-47 (162.525 MHz, channel 6) Peoria: WXJ-71 (162.475 MHz, channel 4) Shelbyville: KXI-46 (162.500 MHz, channel 5) Springfield: WXJ-75 (162.400 MHz, channel 1) Some users close to alternate towers may be able to get weather alerts by reprogramming their NOAA Weather Radio. Those additional counties in our viewing area with potential alternative access include Vermilion, Crawford, Macoupin, Cass, McLean, and Fayette counties. Other counties will not have any access to the radio system during the time. With the upcoming outage and severe weather possible in parts of our area on Tuesday and Wednesday, an alternative way to get weather alerts includes WeatherCall, a location-specific method to get weather warnings. You can also download the WCIA 3 Weather app for more detailed alerts that will follow your location on your mobile devices. The upgrades to AWIPS will also affect other core services, but nearby offices will assist in helping to keep things moving. Both the National Weather Service Offices in Chicago and St. Louis will be utilized to ensure that forecasts, alerts and other weather information still get out to the public. Other services that will be negatively impacted, however, include the Forecast Recordings generated daily. Those forecast recordings rely on the NOAA Weather Radio, and are normally accessed by the public by calling 217-732-7321. Graphical hazardous weather outlooks will also be impacted, but the corresponding text products normally generated will be issued by the nearby back up offices. Finally, the daily temperature and precipitation analysis maps will not be updated during the outage. This same critical systems upgrade happened at the National Weather Service Office in Indianapolis in early May. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
