Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop and lift northeast across quad state region through 815 PM. The strongest storms will be focused across the pennyrile region of west Kentucky. These storms have been severe at times…producing penny size hail and gusts to 60 mph. Storms will continue to be capable of small hail…winds gusting to 40 mph…very heavy rain and dangerous lightning. Areas of heavy rain will produce ponding of water on roadways and possibly localized flooding.

    Thanks, Brian. I’ve lived in southern Illinois for various stretches of time over the years and had never heard of ‘the pennyrile’.

    By the way, that business about ‘dangerous lightning’ is for real. This happened yesterday in my neck of the woods.
