The NWS of Central Illinois is working on confirming a tornado near the Delavan, IL area.

This risk extends through the Deep South, the same areas impacted by Fri through this past weekend's storm system. A marginal risk for strong to severe storms remains in place overnight including the cities of Detroit, Cincinnati, and Nashville.

The storms will continue to push to the east overnight and some areas that saw the strong storms Wednesday, like Chicago, will see rain transition to snow through the overnight hours. By Thursday afternoon, this cold front will impact cities along the East Coast.
