This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern

Illinois, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeast

Missouri.



.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight



Thunderstorms have a small risk at becoming strong to severe this

afternoon and evening. The best such chance will be nearer the

Arkansas border in southern-most southeast Missouri, where there

are nearly equal chances for damaging wind gusts and hail. Lightning

and heavy rain will be more commonplace storm hazards.



.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday



There is lingering storm potential Wednesday, mainly for southern

portions of western Kentucky, especially nearer the Tennessee

border. Lightning and heavy rain will be the main storm hazards.



Additional storm chances exist Friday evening and again from late

Saturday night through late Sunday night. 



.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...



Spotters should maintain a basic weather watch with respect to

storm chances later this afternoon and evening, in case their 

activation is requested.
