Tomorrow looks like a low end/marginal severe threat on paper, but given how this year is going, I am absolutely assuming that it will manage to produce a tornado or two in IL.
Ended up with 2.09" at my place from heavy storms this afternoon. Kids had a blast in the flooded creek. Nice temps all day too, currently 69F. Looks like two to three more days of cool and wet weather but as the rest of you noted, the heat will be on after that. Hopefully it doesn't last too long.
