DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - The Fire Pit Date Index is looking good for this evening. A recent dip in the wind (it's about time!), along with a dip in humidity and no thunderstorms, will make for great outdoor weather. So, why not make a date and hang out by the fire pit? Â
Hey, we all know where we live and it gets windy at the drop of a hat. Yep, that wind machine returns Friday afternoon with a cameo to higher humidity. All this in advance of a cold front that will spark thunderstorms. While a stray afternoon thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, the risk of severe weather ramps up just after dark Friday evening.Â
Make sure to stay tuned for updates on Friday evening's severe threat. For now, just enjoy the beautiful evening.Â
Stay weather-aware.Â
