Tornado Watch Issued

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for all of the WREX Viewing area until midnight. As the warm front lifts northward over the next couple of hours, severe storms are likely through the evening. A line of strong storms is currently moving through eastern Iowa and west-central Illinois. A few storms have developed ahead of the this line in northwest Illinois.

While the storms should diminish as night falls, any storms that do develop have the potential to spin and produce brief tornadoes.
