.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 209 AM CDT Thu Aug 20 2026

Earlier in the night, there was some considerable flash flooding
that occurred north of I-72. Some showers and thunderstorms are
still moving across central and southeastern IL this morning but the
flash flooding threat appears to have ended. Heavy rain is still
possible in the stronger showers as this cold front exits off to the
south this morning.

Behind the cold front, a weak high pressure center will build over
the Midwest later today into tomorrow. Today is looking to be quite
pleasant. There could be some sprinkles/light rain in south central
IL this afternoon, but rainfall amounts should be minimal. Friday
there is a 20-40% chance of additional showers, perhaps some thunder
too, area wide as a weak upper disturbance passes overhead.

After Friday, a primarily dry forecast is on deck through early next
week, with temperatures in the upper 70s to 80s for highs and
upper 50s to 60s for lows.
