Severe storms possible today; flash flood watch through Saturday

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for all of southern Illinois and most of southeast Missouri from tonight through Saturday morning.

Southern Illinois is also forecast to see a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms during Friday.

At this time, the flash flood watch does not include western Kentucky, northwest Tennessee or the Missouri Bootheel.

Several rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected tonight, and again Friday into Saturday.

Generally in the watch area, 1.5 to 3 inches of rainfall is expected, with localized areas of 3 to 5 inches possible. Some of the rain may fall very quickly and lead to flash flooding concerns.

A few storms may become strong to severe with damaging winds being the primary hazard.
