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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Thunderstorms are forecast again today, especially in portions of
southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky. The
best chance appears to exist from the morning through midday as a
complex of thunderstorms moves from northern and central Missouri
southeast through the region.

Early on, the primary thunderstorm concerns should be lightning,
locally heavy rain, and marginally severe hail. However, the
threat of damaging winds should increase through the morning and
possibly into early afternoon.

Through the remainder of the afternoon and into early evening,
isolated thunderstorms cannot be ruled out.

Heat index readings from 100 to 105 are forecast this afternoon,
particularly across much of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois,
and western Kentucky. Refer to the Special Weather Statement for
more details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

The heat index will hit triple digits each afternoon, with peak
numbers of 105 to 110 projected Friday and Saturday, and as high
as 105 Sunday through Tuesday. Please refer to the Heat Advisory
for more details.

Daily thunderstorm chances will be mainly during the heat of the
afternoon and evening, with heavy rain and lightning as the primary
storm hazards. An isolated strong to severe storm cannot be ruled
out.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters should maintain alert status in case activation is needed
today.
