The National Weather Service in Lincoln says thunderstorms are possible in Central Illinois after midday on Wednesday.
A chance (20-40%) for scattered showers and thunderstorms exists this evening as a cold front slowly moves into the region. A few storms along and south of I-72/Danville may produce damaging wind gusts and hail. Storms may then linger past midnight. #ILwx pic.twitter.com/tugv2Vrf8V

Don't have a ton of time for a deeper Twitter analysis, but given satellite and observational trends in the wake of morning storms I agree with the introduction of a 5% tornado probability zone across northern Illinois. Potential exists for 1 or 2 intense, rotating storms. #ilwx pic.twitter.com/d1rjGXrKlT
