Risk still elevated for 60 to 70-MPH winds on Sunday night

The National Weather Service in Paducah says that the overall risk for severe weather remains elevated for tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Windy conditions are expected to begin overnight Saturday.

The storm system continues to trend stronger for severe weather potential from Sunday late afternoon through the evening. The entire Quad State region is in an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5). 

A line of storms is expected to develop over southeast Missouri and track eastward through the late afternoon and evening, with widespread wind damage becoming more likely. Risk is increasing for the chance of widespread damaging south winds of 60 to 70 miles per hour.

There remains some risk for isolated strong tornadoes. Hail and flooding potential are limited, partly because the line of storms will be very fast-moving at 50-60 mph. 

The passage of the cold front will lead to a transition to snow on Sunday night, especially in southeast Missouri and southern Illinois north of a line from Cape Girardeau to Evansivlle.  There will be limited accumulation potential of up to an inch of snow on grassy or elevated surfaces. Some bridges and overpasses could get slippery.

Very cold temperatures follow, with lows Monday night in the teens, and early Tuesday wind chills in the single digits.
