    Sunday looks to be another day in which sunshine pops out in the morning with a round of rain expected to roll through in the evening. There is a chance for some thunderstorms to become strong/severe, however, the chances are limited with greater risk near the Illinois river. As storm progress through Central Illinois, they should weaken and become widespread to end the day. Damaging winds and large sized hail would be the risks for storm chances Sunday.

    Smoke from wildfires in Canada continue to impact air quality across Central Illinois. Friday's air quality is healthy for sensitive groups, such as people with heart and lung disease, older adults. Children should limit time outdoors if you are in an area with lower air quality. Below shows the areas that are at risk for lower air quality (black).

    Dense fog is a concern throughout Friday morning with visibility being less than a quarter of a mile at times. While fog looks to be very patchy, the areas that see the dense fog may only be able to see a several feet into the distance. The hope is that the fog lifts by mid morning, allowing for some sun to break through the clouds. The problem becomes rain chances that are likely to roll through starting early afternoon and lingering throughout the evening.
