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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

The Flood Watch continues. Persistent showers and thunderstorms
with heavy rainfall will lead to worsening and expanding flash
flooding problems and rapid rises on area rivers through tonight.

Severe thunderstorms with the potential for very large hail,
strong long-track tornadoes, and damaging winds are expected to
develop over southeast Missouri early this evening and then spread
through southern Illinois and west Kentucky through the remainder
of the evening. The severe threat will diminish with time and
eastward extent across the Quad State, especially after midnight.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A few severe storms with large hail, damaging winds, and a few
tornadoes will be possible Saturday, mainly over west Kentucky.

The Flood Watch will continue until Sunday morning. Widespread
showers and thunderstorm with very heavy rainfall will overspread
the entire Quad State Saturday and then finally come to an end
from the west early Sunday. Widespread flash flooding is expected
throughout the Quad State and catastrophic flooding is likely over
portions of west Kentucky and possibly far southeast Missouri.

In addition, most area rivers will rise above flood stage as we
head through the weekend and into next week.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will likely be needed this evening into the
overnight hours, and possibly again Saturday.
