Large hail events routinely accompany supercells tracking northeast across the Illinois River valley, with hailstones exceeding 2.5 inches recorded during derecho events. Flooding is a recurring threat along the Illinois River corridor through Pekin and Creve Coeur, and winter ice storms periodically coat the county with a quarter-inch or more of freezing rain, compounding roof load and infrastructure damage across all communities.
