7 AM Update

Showers and storms are moving into our local counties. A few of these storms are strong and/or severe. Listen for updates from local media and NOAA Weather Radio.
---
The cold front should push through our region early this afternoon - this will end the severe weather threat from west to east.
---
Greatest risk over the next 4 hours will be over far southeast Missouri, far southern Illinois, far western Kentucky, and western Tennessee. If storms become severe then they could produce high winds and hail. Isolated tornadoes are possible today - especially over Kentucky and Tennessee.
