The National Weather Service in Paducah says we're heading into a 3-day period of low-end severe potential today through Friday for parts of the area.

The best thunderstorm coverage tonight is forecast to be over southeast Missouri and northwest southern Illinois. If conditions are just right a severe thunderstorm or two with wind looks possible.

The same stray severe thunderstorm chance is true for Thursday, then on Friday there'll be a slightly better, but still only level 1 of 5 threat of severe storms.
