... Line of strong to severe thunderstorms expected to develop and move across the quad state region Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening...
Current indications are that a line of thunderstorms will intensify and sweep southeast across the region just in time for the 4th of July Holiday. The storms should strengthen Saturday afternoon northwest of the Ohio River and over portions of southeast Missouri. The line of thunderstorms would then likely move southeast into western Kentucky and far southeast Missouri during the late afternoon and evening hours. If these storms develop... they will be capable of producing damaging wind gusts and large hail. We will also need to monitor for the possibility of isolated tornadoes.
Those with outdoor plans on the 4th of July should monitor NOAA Weather Radio... internet or your local media for the later updates on this situation.
