Marginal risk for Severe Weather for Route 13 South

by Steve Dunford

We had two rounds of a couple pretty heavy showers and thunderstorms that crossed the region last night.  There was a few reports of limbs down across Franklin County.

There is a marginal (level one of five) risk for severe thunderstorms for this afternoon and evening south of a Carbondale to Evansville, IN line.

As far as precipitation for the next few hours, there is a line of storms that are stretching from Clinton County through Northern Marion County at this time.  They are drifting ESE.  If they stay together, they can bring some showers and possible rumbles of thunder to Franklin county.
