Severe Late Sunday-Monday

The Ozarks will be on the eastern edge of this thunderstorm area during this time. Jet stream winds and a return northward of some Gulf moisture will help to develop these storms.

Note that this whole pattern will likey shift east on Tuesday with a better chance for storms and rain for the Ozarks. There is a possibility for severe storms for us on this day as well.

Anniversary of the Tri-State Tornado


It is, by a wide margin, the deadliest tornado to strike the United States.

Starting in Reynolds County, Missouri, this tornado was on the ground for over three hours, killed close to 700 people, wiped several towns off the map and reached speeds over 60 mph.
