Stay alert today as it might get very interesting in our area!!!
RAPIDLY CHANGING SITUATION! Today is a day when the risk is moving hour by hour. Remember: When you see an update, check the timestamp. The background colors are official from NWS (as of 745 am), but I believe the situation has even changed since then.
I won't be able to track every storm today. Stay "in tune" with your trusted sources. Here's the big story...
NW of STL — risk is decreasing quickly.
STL and eastern Ozarks — risk is unchanged. Very real tornado or wind damage threat this afternoon.
SEMO (and surrounding areas) — your risk is dramatically escalating! I expect two rounds for some. Supercells with tornado risk by late afternoon, followed by a squall line tonight.
