Severe storms erupted along the I-64 corridor between St. Louis and Centralia on Friday, with several storms producing rotating wall clouds, blinding rains, and high winds as they moved across southern Illinois. This series of storms came in part to a cold front that'll be the ushering of a taste of Fall as temperatures on Saturday may be as much as 20 degrees cooler than Friday's highs.
Footage shot throughout northern Washington County, IL from I-64 north.
