NWS: Marginal Risk of Severe Storms

NWS Paducah

Forecasters say some needed rain could come in the form of strong storms in the Evansville area

We need the rain, but forecasters say some storms could be severe this week. WNIN’s John Gibson has more:

The National Weather Service measured more than two inches of rain at Evansville Regional Airport Monday, as the region deals with a drought.

The rain has also brought intense lightning and high winds, but the storms have stayed below severe limits.

Now, forecasters say the Tri-State faces a marginal risk of severe storms, at least until a cold front passes Wednesday afternoon.

The weather service says the storms could include large hail and high winds.

Meanwhile, chances for needed rain continue through Thursday with a sunny, mild forecast for the weekend.
