Here’s the latest strong to severe storm threat for Wednesday night into Thursday morning. The main risks with these storms will be damaging winds and large hail, but a few isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out as well. 

Total precipitation guidance through the next 7 days: Many areas are susceptible to 0.5-1.5″ of rain during this period. Totals greater than 1.5″ will be most likely in the Boot Heel and locations south/east. Of course with the case in any heavier/stronger storms, localized higher amounts will be possible.
