Severe Storms Update



The latest severe weather outlook for today (which runs until the overnight hours) has a new moderate risk for severe storms which covers areas to the far northwest of Springfield and a slight risk for severe storms dropping down to Springfield. The storms will initiate to the north and northwest out of our viewing area and then drop southward overnight.


The tornado threat is greatest from northeastern Kansas into the Kansas City metro area and then into northern Missouri (yikes, where that large tornado occurred up near Kirksville on Wednesday).

Folks living roughly along and north of a line from Nevada to Hermitage to Lake of the Ozarks should be on the lookout for threatening weather this evening and after dark. Tornadoes are a bit more likely now in this area.
