Here are my current personal forecast thoughts for far southern Illinois and western Kentucky...
Showers and thunderstorms over the coming days will be most widespread over the northern half of the region - say form Poplar Bluff, MO to Madisonville, KY - then northward. There will be chances of storms, however, over the entire region. See forecast rainfall graphic below to get a general idea of where the heaviest rains are forecast to fall.

Where storms form there could be locally heavy rain. There will also be a chance for a few severe thunderstorms. The primary concern will be hail and gusty winds. Isolated tornado threat - mostly near the front.
Monitor local media or NOAA Weather Radio for updates on any watches and/or warnings.
Rainfall totals will vary greatly over the coming days. The heaviest totals will be over the northern half of the region - lighter totals over the southern half. See the graphic below.

If you are a weather enthusiast then I recommend listening to WeatherBrains each week! For a more in-depth look at what is happening in meteorology.
Now is a GREAT
time to buy a NOAA All Hazards
Weather Radio. Better to have one
before storms
strike than to be without one
during an event. I recommend the
Midland Model 300 NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio - that is what I use here at my house!
