Today the Saint Louis area, including southern Illinois, need to stay sharp.
From NWS;
"Convection over eastern Kansas and northwest Missouri is proceeding slowly eastward...about as expected. Looks like the leading edges will be moving into the western fringes of our County warning forecast area by 06-07z. Have made minor tweaks to the pops to slow the precip accordingly. Rap is forecasting 1000-1500 j/kg of MUCAPE along with increasing deep layer shear...and this continues to point toward the possibility of elevated severe storms with severe hail being the primary threat."
Hail is the main threat for you guys.
Blessings
