Utica, IL Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Special Weather Statement issued October 12 at 1:33PM CDT by NWS Paducah KY

The combination of record-high temperatures and elevated humidity levels will produce heat index values in the upper 90s to lower 100s Tuesday afternoon across much of southeast Missouri, southwest Illinois, and far western Kentucky. Those planning to be outdoors for extended periods on Tuesday should follow heat safety measures, such as staying hydrated and taking frequent breaks in a shaded or air-conditioned location.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location.
