Peoria, Ill. (WMBD) — A slow moving cold front has brought another good soaking rain to Central Illinois. After a dry May, the month of June is off to a welcomed wet start. Most of the areas received somewhere between one and three inches of rain with some of the highest totals coming from Tazewell, Fulton, Mason, and Woodford Counties. We did receive a few reports over 4 inches in a few spots, but those reports were significantly higher than nearby observations and radar estimates.
