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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are forecast across portions
of southeast Missouri, southern Illinois, and western Kentucky
today into tonight, with isolated activity elsewhere. Given their
slow movement, storms may produce heavy rainfall that leads to
flash flooding. The flash flooding potential will be greatest
over southeast Missouri, where a Flash Flood Watch is in effect
through tonight. Otherwise, lightning and locally gusty wind are
other storm related concerns.

Several points on area rivers remain in flood. Refer to the latest
statements and forecasts for details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

After a lingering small chance of thunderstorms across southern
and western portions of the area on Friday, thunderstorm chances
return to the forecast next Tuesday and Wednesday, primarily in
the heat of the day. The main thunderstorm hazards include locally
heavy rainfall and lightning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not anticipated at this time. However,
spotters are encouraged to report heavy rainfall and flooding.
