#tristatewx #ilwx #kywx Thunderstorms, some locally heavy, will develop over the coming hours - especially over our northern counties. These storms will be moving southward through the afternoon hours. Thunderstorm activity is expected to be a bit more widespread than earlier indicated. Some thunderstorms will produce very heavy rain, gusty winds, small hail, and lightning, of course. The risk for severe weather is small - it is not uncommon, however, for one or two storms in a pattern like this to produce a burst of high winds. There remains a little bit of uncertainty as to how organized this line of thunderstorms will become as we move through the coming hours. It is still in the developing stages. Many areas will likely remain dry this afternoon - however, if the line becomes fully organized then monitor radars if you have an outdoor event. Lightning is always a concern for outdoor events. Wind fields will drive the line southeast and then southward and then perhaps even a bit southwestward. Over the past few weeks slow moving thunderstorms have produced extremely heavy pockets of rain - small areas. This will continue to be the case with the most intense thunderstorms that move slowly across an area. Radars are up and running weatherobservatory/weather-radar.htm
