Strong storms tonight could bring localized flooding

Localized flooding is possible late tonight and Monday morning, especially in portions of western Kentucky and southern Illinois. A locally strong to severe storm is also not out of the question Monday morning.

Widespread moderate to heavy rain moves in overnight with embedded thunderstorms. 1 to 2 inches of rain may occur in a corridor that aligns about 50 miles either side of the Ohio River. Some storms may contain hail or snow pellets, and there is a very small risk for a wind/tornado threat early Monday morning.

After a dry day on Tuesday, more rain moves through Tuesday night into Wednesday. Combined rainfall totals by Wednesday could be 3 to 4 inches in places.

An arctic cold front moves through Wednesday night with a reinforcing shot of cold air arriving Friday. Temperatures will plummet and remain below normal through next weekend, with wind chill values falling into the teens.
