Wow!!! What a first half in the England vs Croatia match

06/17/2026

Looks like the weather will be good for central Illinois according to multiple weather outlets.

Just in time for the England match at 3:00pm

Looking at latest runs the AM storms have had very significant impacts on the environment and is pushing everything south a bit.

The warm front is stalled all the way down by I-72 now and it will struggle to get further north. At this point, we think northern IL is probably gonna get away with little to no problems.

In Central IL we think Galesburg to Pontiac to Kankakee is probably a bit too far north too for the warm front to reach. Even Peoria to Bloomington is beginning to be on the northern side.

Now, the big question is where will the severe weather begin? We think Macomb to Hoopeston and points south are gonna want to stay alert. The risk for strong tornadoes, damaging winds and hail is still very much likely.

If any region is the wildcard, it's Peoria to Bloomington as you're on the northern cusp of the severe risk and it may stay just south.

Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, Effingham, Litchfield, Charleston, Quincy regions should be on very high alert this evening still.
