Bottom line it for me Beau...

For southern Illinois and far western Kentucky...

                                                                               












The forecast for severe or extreme weather risk for today, tonight, and tomorrow:  Chance for a few strong storms on Friday/Friday night.

----------------------------------------------

Active pattern is underway.  Another storm system will roll into the region on Friday and Saturday - this system will spread additional showers and thunderstorms back into our local counties.

Rainfall totals of 1-2 are likely - pockets of 3-4" not out of the question.
Flood or flash flood watches may need to be issued.

Another rain event for next Tuesday and Wednesday and then another one the following weekend.  We are in a wet pattern.


Anyone have a boat?

Stay tuned for updates...
