Another Sunday, Another Severe Weather Outbreak!

Good early morning, folks! Missouri saw some severe weather last Sunday and it looks like we'll be hitting repeat for this coming Sunday. SPC is looking at a really impressive storm system coming in over the weekend. With a lot of ingredients coming together, the area above highlighted in red will likely see quite a severe weather outbreak. Not only will most of Missouri see a repeat of last Sunday's storms, but Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan will see some strong storms on Sunday and heading into Sunday night. As SPC updates the outlook area later today and I get a better handle on the system, I'll have an update later today. Have a good day, everyone.

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.
