Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Paducah KY 254 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017 ILZ075>078-080>094-INZ081-082-085>088-KYZ001>022-MOZ076-086-087- 100-107>112-114-051000- Jefferson-Wayne IL-Edwards-Wabash-Perry IL-Franklin-Hamilton- White-Jackson-Williamson-Saline-Gallatin-Union-Johnson-Pope- Hardin-Alexander-Pulaski-Massac-Gibson-Pike-Posey-Vanderburgh- Warrick-Spencer-Fulton-Hickman-Carlisle-Ballard-McCracken-Graves- Livingston-Marshall-Calloway-Crittenden-Lyon-Trigg-Caldwell- Union KY-Webster-Hopkins-Christian-Henderson-Daviess-McLean- Muhlenberg-Todd-Perry MO-Bollinger-Cape Girardeau-Wayne MO-Carter- Ripley-Butler-Stoddard-Scott-Mississippi-New Madrid- 254 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017 This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern Illinois, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeast Missouri. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight A marginal risk of severe thunderstorms nudges into the southeast Missouri Ozarks late tonight. Damaging winds and Hail would be the primary severe storm related hazards if storms which are expected across portions of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas, can hold together long enough to affect the Ozarks. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday Strong to severe storms are expected to develop ahead of a developing cold front Wednesday afternoon and evening. Impressive spring time energy is coming together to impact parts of the lower Ohio and Tennessee valleys with an enhanced risk of severe storms. Our best chance of thunderstorms will be east of the Mississippi river, and our best chance of strong or severe storms will be across the far eastern part of our area, across the Pennyrile region of western Kentucky and extending toward southwest Indiana, east of Evansville. Tornados, large hail, and damaging winds are all potential severe weather hazards Wednesday afternoon and early evening. Much of the severe weather risk will be to the east of the area, and all of it will have shifted to the east by mid evening, so it is strictly an afternoon and early evening potential threat window for our area. Low temperatures in the 30s are possible Thursday night and Friday night. However, winds are expected to remain about 10 mph Thursday night. As a result, the best potential for killing frost is Friday night, when clear skies, light winds, and cool temperatures in the 30s make frost most likely to be more widespread and last for several hours. Frost chances are best east of the Mississippi river, where temperatures will be coolest, skies clearest, and winds lightest. Another thunderstorm chance enters the forecast Sunday night and Monday, but severe weather is not expected at this time. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is possible Wednesday afternoon and early evening.
