Saturday we will see scattered showers throughout the day, not everyone will see heavy precipitation. The chance for isolated showers continues for Mother’s Day on Sunday, with periods of on and off precipitation. We end the weekend with temperatures in the upper 80s. Monday will be partly cloudy with temperatures dipping into the upper 70s.

Stormcast is showing scattered thunderstorms starting in the early AM hours before drying up in the late evening hours. Southern Illinois is expected to see possible strong storms by noon, not everyone will see these showers.

Parts of southern Illinois are in a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) for Severe Weather on Saturday. The biggest threats being locally heavy rainfall as well as lightning, an isolated Severe Weather system cannot be ruled out.
