The Storm Prediction Center in Norman OK, has placed Southern Illinois under a marginal risk (Level 1) for severe weather today and Friday. At this time, the confidence is very low. The National Weather Service in Paducah is stating spotter activation is not likely in their hazardous weather outlook.
At mid afternoon yesterday, KFVS -TV Meteorologist Brian Alworth discounted the severe threat. He said today would be a repeat of Monday.
The only threat I see of anything coming severe if the line of showers and thunderstorms would maintain some energy before they get there. At this time I do not see the atmosphere being juiced enough when they arrive.
The biggest threats for today is heavy rain and possibly some lightning out of these storms.
The confidence is not very high at this time for Friday either, There is only a 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms. We are heading into the time of year in which that chance could happen every day.
