Looks like the threat is for the entire state.
In summary, severe weather is a significant threat for many Mississippi Valley and Southern states.
Keep your eyes on the sky.
Here is a statement from the Storm Prediction Center.
================================================
...Ohio and Tennessee Valleys...
Widespread thunderstorms -- including some degree of all-hazards
severe risk -- will likely be spreading rapidly eastward across the
Ohio Valley area at the start of the period. This convection should
reach the central Appalachians by late morning/midday, but -- though
potentially having some impact on destabilization potential across
the MDT and ENH risk areas -- should largely shift far enough east
to allow warm-sector destabilization to commence.
As the surface low deepens and crosses Illinois and eventually moves
into Indiana, and the cold front advances across the Mid Mississippi
and Lower Ohio Valleys, storm redevelopment is expected to occur
during the afternoon. While evolution/storm mode remains somewhat
difficult to discern -- in part due to earlier storms -- some mix of
cellular and cluster/linear mode is expected to evolve. Given the
ample destabilization expected in combination with very
strong/veering deep-layer flow, all-hazards severe potential is
evident, including very large hail, strong/damaging winds, and
several significant tornadoes.
The greatest risk, which will include potential for a couple of
intense/long-track tornadoes, should begin across Indiana, and the
spread across Ohio through the afternoon and evening, potentially
reaching as far east as western portions of West Virginia and far
western Pennsylvania into the evening. Eastward advance of the risk
into central Pennsylvania will likely remain limited, but otherwise
threat may spread into western portions of Virginia and the
Carolinas late.
