Slight Risk of Severe Storms on Friday

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) out of Norman, OK has issued a slight risk of severe storms tomorrow afternoon and evening from eastern South Dakota southeastward into much of Kentucky. The Stateline area is included in this risk area with the possibility of 1"+ hail, winds in excess of 60 mph, and heavy rainfall. A warm front lifting into central Illinois by late afternoon combined with an upper-level disturbance moving across the area from the west will trigger these storms. It appears that the storms will start to develop after about 5pm. So if you have plans to be outdoors on Friday evening, check with the FirstWarn weather team to get the latest information on the storm threat.
