Showers and a few thunderstorms are moving southward through southeast Missouri and southern Illinois.  This is along and behind a cold front.

These showers and storms will push into the rest of the area over the coming hours - it is possible that not everyone will see rain.  Scattered.

No severe weather is expected - isolated strong storms possible.  No severe weather in the forecast in the near term.  Will keep watching a system around the middle next and then again next weekend.
