Slight risk of severe weather Friday

The National Weather Service office in Paducah has issued a hazardous weather outlook that includes a slight risk of severe weather on Friday.

Thunderstorms are possible starting late this afternoon over southeast Missouri, then spreading across the remainder of the area overnight. A few storms could become severe mainly after midnight tonight, with large hail and damaging winds being the main hazards.

Thunderstorms are forecast for all or part of the area from Friday through Tuesday night. During this time, the best chance of storms looks to be on Friday, which will include a slight risk of severe storms.  Large hail and damaging winds are again the primary concerns, with locally heavy rainfall also a possibility.
