Stay save out there tonight everyone. I will update with damage/hail photos or some form of documentation. Hoping for the best case scenario but we have to be realistic here. As Tim Samaras would say “Stay weather savy”, be sure to follow proper sheltering guidelines and keep on eye on social media/the news.

A massive enhanced risk has been issued by the SPC for Friday with an outbreak of severe weather expected from Louisiana and Mississippi to eastern Iowa, with the marginal risk all the way to Minneapolis. Tornadoes can be expected in a few different areas, with a derecho expected ahead of the vorticity maximum.

Having problems with power at Franklin high school Franklin IL. Ameren has shut off power to work on it. Estimated repair time is 8 -10 hours. Not sure how the rest of the town is fairing…… seems like spotty electricity. I will say there is a TORNADO WATCH for most of Illinois. Please please please stay weather alert this afternoon and evening. This page will likely be very active the rest of the night!

Expect visibility to drop down to 1/4 mile and roads to become snow packed. Snow will accumulate fast.
