First Alert: Tracking possible storms tonight into Wednesday

(KFVS) - Today was mostly dry, with warm conditions in the upper 80s across the region. But tonight, we are tracking a few storms in the Heartland.

Chief Meteorologist Grant Dade says there is the potential for storms this evening across southern Illinois. Right now, these storms are isolated, but more storms will develop later tonight across the northern half of the Heartland. The severe weather threat is low, but a few storms could produce some hail and strong winds.

The rain continues into the morning, so those north of Marion will probably want to have their umbrella on standby.

The afternoon looks drier, but we could expect more rain in the overnight hours on Wednesday heading into Thursday morning.

Temperatures are expected to stay in the above average upper 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. The rest of the week looks dry, with lots of sunshine and temperatures above average.

This warming pattern will continue, as will the dry conditions.
