Severe Weather Likely in MO Tonight

Good evening, folks. After quite a warm day across Mid-Missouri with record breaking highs in the upper 80s (with a few spots around 90), we're finally starting to see thunderstorms form due north of Kirksville, MO all the way towards Manhattan, KS. A tornado watch is in effect for far northeastern Missouri until midnight and a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for western Missouri and eastern Kansas until midnight. I'll have updates on any strong and severe storms on my Twitter unless I have to assist Chief Weathercaster Dave Schmidt with severe weather coverage. If you want updates on warnings, simply go to the National Weather Service homepage and check on our coverage at KOMU's website. Stay safe, folks.
