The NWS is calling for showers Wednesday through Friday, with a chance of thunderstorms Wednesday morning and later Wednesday evening.
The storms aren't expected to be severe, however.
Upticks of severe weather in the fall aren't out of the ordinary.
Schaffer called the window "a second peak," though the weather events aren't as numerous in the spring and early summer.
A tornado warning extended into Sangamon County on Monday.
There were no confirmed touchdowns in the county, Schaffer said.
