   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   SUMMARY...A growing cluster of strong-severe thunderstorms should
   continue to pose severe-weather potential across southern IL and to
   the adjoining Ohio Valley.  Additional development is possible over
   southeastern Missouri to its west as well.  Occasional severe gusts
   and large hail are the main concerns, and a tornado cannot be ruled
   out

   statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles west southwest
   of Farmington MO to 30 miles south southeast of Evansville IN. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline

   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible

   tornadoes.
