Storm Chasers Warning Illinois of Dangerous Storms in Late April

Illinois has had a week or so of relative calm when it comes to weather. That may be about to end according to a new warning just shared by multiple storm chasers that say the Land of Lincoln is now expected to be in the path of dangerous weather expected to peak in the last part of April.

One of the most well known storm chasers is Reed Timmer who starred in the reality series Tornado Chasers more than a decade ago. Reed just shared a warning about a weather pattern that should mean a return to explosive thunderstorm development. You can see that Illinois is a part of the area he's talking about.

Reed isn't the only storm chaser/meteorologist that thinks we're about to see strong storms begin to roll through the Midwest again soon. He has parts of western Illinois in his warned area also.

It appears that this strong thunderstorm pattern could begin on or around April 18 through April 20 which means Easter weekend could be a time to be watchful. I've seen many who follow weather mentioning that April 18 through May 2 could be a troublesome time for storm development in the Midwest including parts of Illinois. We knew that thunderstorm patterns would return sooner or later. It now appears that sooner is what we should expect.
