Less than a week after heavy rain, damaging winds, hail and tornadoes swept across parts of northern and central Illinois, another round of strong storms could be on the way.

13 WREX meteorologist John Jurgens joins us to break down what may be in the forecast for the WNIJ listening area.

Flooding is one concern across much of northern Illinois after waterways absorbed substantial rainfall last week. Jurgens said the Stateline region and Rockford could see another round of heavy rain.

Another concern is the possibility of additional tornadoes in north-central and central Illinois. The threat comes just days after tornadoes touched down in the region.

For a full report on what to expect from tomorrow's weather, listen to John Jurgens' complete forecast at the link above.
