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: A few strong storms possible through Wednesday - gusty winds and brief downpours.  A few reports of hail not out of the question.
