...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON...

At 200 PM, numerous showers and thunderstorms continued from the
Evansville Indiana and Henderson Kentucky area, down along the
Ohio River to near Paducah, west into portions of southeast
Missouri.

Through 400 PM, the showers and storms will persist, move slowly
and drop locally very heavy rain in a short amount of time. For
those traveling, be alert for standing water in low lying, poor
drainage areas. Also, expect rather poor visibility due to the
heavy rain. More heavy rain is expected across Evansville and
Henderson. Some street flooding is possible.
