This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern
Illinois, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeast
Missouri.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop this
afternoon into the evening. Severe thunderstorms will be possible,

western Kentucky. Storms should begin to weaken during the evening
with loss of daytime heating.

Damaging wind is the primary thunderstorm-related concern today.
However, large hail and a brief tornado or two cannot be rules out,
especially with the initial storm development this afternoon.
Lightning and torrential downpours are also expected with the
thunderstorm activity.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday

A slight chance of thunderstorms lingers into Tuesday across
southwest Indiana and adjacent portions of southern Illinois and
western Kentucky. Severe storms are not expected.

Isolated thunderstorms are forecast Friday through Saturday
morning, mainly in western and northern portions of the area.
