STORMS THEN A CHILL....

In the slight risk area (yellow) is where strong winds, hail and even some tornadoes will be possible. Storms will be weakening as they head east overnight and into Monday morning. There could still be some gusty winds (up to 40 mph) in eastern Iowa and western Illinois/Wisconsin, but storms will be in a weakening state.
