SPC Upgrades Franklin County to a slight risk of Severe Weather

by Steve Dunford

The Storm Prediction Center in Norman OK has upgraded an area into a Murrphysboro, to Marion, to Harrisburg, to Carmi and points Northward to a slight risk (level 2 0f 5) of severe weather.

The storms will be in front of an advancing cold front which should go through sometime tomorrow morning.

It should be a rough day weather-wise in Southeast Iowa, and Central Missouri and Illinois.  These storms are expected to weaken after dark.  Two factors will determine the intensity of them when they arrive to our region sometime after midnight.  First is the intensity of the storms in the area mentioned, and second the energy that is in the atmosphere left from a very hot an humid day in Southern Illinois.

Storm direction this evening should be southeast.

As long as there is a threat in the region, I will keep an eye, providing updates during the overnight hours.
