Weather Watch now brings you more original weather observations recorded by KC9S.  Check out the new live pan/tilt/zoom radar webcam, APT satellite images, severe weather indicator, and weather station  all generated from this website.  The radar webcam allows users to control the webcam to monitor conditions near Sullivan, IL.  This camera located at 58' elevation is linked to the NWS doppler radar and allows users to track storms live.  The APT satellite images are received directly from NOAA's APT satellites in the 137 MHz range.  The severe weather indicator takes the SPC's severe weather forecast and creates a convenient user friendly icon at the top of this page based on the weather threats.  The KC9S Weather station allows you to  monitor the current weather conditions in Central IL.

Know When Severe Weather Is Going to Strike Ahead of Time

If you live in Central Illinois (roughly Peoria to Effingham to the Illinois river to the Indiana border) and would like to receive advance notice of potential severe weather events in your email, then sign up for EWAN.  EWAN is a free service offered by Weather Watch to warn people about potential severe weather events.  If the Storm Prediction Center issues a slight risk of severe weather in one of their forecasts, an EWAN alert will be emailed to you.  In the alert, a short description of the event will let you know what the reasoning is for issuing the alert and the type of weather possible. Be prepared!!!
