Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
Clusters of thunderstorms formed in the heat of the afternoon along a warm front that extended southeast from the St. Louis area across western Kentucky. The storms formed in a very moist and unstable environment. Precipitable water values were close to two inches. A damaging wet microburst occurred with one of the storms.

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Monday night)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2016
Models show a quick decrease in convection by this evening with
loss of daytime heating. Should remain quiet tonight into early
tomorrow morning, then an approaching cold front from the
northwest will gradually increase shower and thunderstorm chances
through the day Sunday into Sunday night. GFS and Canadian are a
little faster and indicate more coverage than the ECMWF, but
generally solutions are in okay agreement. Went with slight to low
chance pops for showers and thunderstorms in southern Illinois and
southeast Missouri by late Sunday morning, then good chances north
and west to slight chances southeast by late Sunday afternoon. Our
best chances across the region will be Sunday night into Monday
with the passage of the cold front.
Conditions will remain hot and muggy ahead of the cold front.
Sunday high temperatures will again reach the lower 90s with heat
indices in the 100 to 105 degree range. Cloud cover/convection on
Monday will drop high temperatures back a few degrees, which will
keep heat indices below 100 degrees.
Dry conditions will return by Monday night with the cold front off
to our south. As drier air begins to infiltrate the area, dew
points will be dropping off Monday night.
.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2016
At the beginning of the extended forecast period (Tuesday) the WFO
PAH forecast area is just south of the NW to SE oriented midlevel
flow. A low ejecting from the Great Lakes toward Maine sharpens the
flow aloft, allowing for 1) channeled vorticity advection into the
area and slight cold air advection from the northeast. This
adjustment will take place on Wednesday, setting the stage for
intermittent disturbances to pass across the area. The forcing
associated with these passing vorticity maxes embedded in the
northwest flow will serve to sharpen the theta-e gradient over
Southeast Missouri, Southwest Illinois and the Purchase area of West
Kentucky by Thursday, leading to isolated/scattered diurnal
convection. As the flow becomes more zonal on Friday into Saturday,
the frequency of vort max interactions will take place. This will
lead to more scattered coverage of showers and thunderstorms to end
the extended period.

.AVIATION...
Issued at 317 PM CDT Sat Jun 25 2016
Continued with VCTS at KCGI and KPAH until 23z, then convection
should dissipate. Expect VFR conditions across all TAF sites
overnight into Sunday morning. A very small chance of showers and
storms will be possible late in the TAF period at KCGI and KEVV
with the approach of a cold front, but chances are too small to
include in the TAFs. Southwest winds around 7 kts will become
light overnight, then increase to around 5 kts after 13z.
