This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southern
Illinois, southwest Indiana, western Kentucky, and southeast
Missouri.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

No hazardous weather is expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Temperatures nearing the freezing mark again Saturday night and
Sunday night could produce a localized hazard for blooming early
spring plant life. However it appears at this time that there will
be enough cloud and wind, along with the marginally supportive
temperatures, to preclude widespread frost or freeze development.

In addition, a chance of snow is a possibility for both Saturday
night and Sunday night. Accumulating snow, while not yet forecast,
would be most likely to occur across our north on Sunday night.
However it is too early to tell if beginning model indications
will be true to hold to any accumulations actually occurring.

A chance of thunderstorms returns to the forecast from late Monday
afternoon through Tuesday evening. While a couple of strong
storms cannot be ruled out Tuesday afternoon, the main storm
related hazard should be locally heavy rain.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
