Afternoon Update...
There will be a small risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across portions of our region - there is very little cap and a lot of CAPE. CAPE is available energy. If a few thunderstorms form over southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, and western Kentucky then they will have the potential to produce hail, gusty winds, and a brief period of heavy rain.
.
There appears to be quite a bit of disagreement among the SPC and the NWS as to whether storms will or will not form..
So - with that in mind - we will monitor the situation this afternoon. .

Continued flooding. Concern will increase with each passing day that the strain on levees could cause some to break. Be prepared for flash flooding in the event of a levee breach. Have life jackets and other emergency supplies ready for immediate deployment in the event of a breach.
A stray shower/thunderstorm is possible on Monday morning. Otherwise it will be warmer - drink some extra fluids.
Snake bites - a number of people have reported snakes escaping the flood waters and moving into areas they are normally not seen.
