Total rainfall of 2-3" appears likely, and this may cause some localized flooding and also prolong flooding conditions along the Wabash and Little Wabash Rivers.

Slight risk for severe thunderstorms

Warmest days of the year so far this year about to be slammed by a potent cold front.

Thunderstorms will hold off until later tonight and end early on Thursday.  We are still under a slight risk for severe storms, meaning several storms could be packed with large hail...damaging winds with a chance of isolated tornadoes.  In the wake of the front, temps will sink into the mid 50s Friday afternoon.
