Scattered Strong to Severe Storms Possible

Strong to severe storms are possible later today and tonight.  The Storm Prediction Center has much of SW MO, NE OK, NW AR and much of KS in a slight risk box for severe weather.  The National Weather Service in Springfield, MO lists the hazards as:
  • Limited tornado risk
  • Elevated hail risk
  • Elevated thunderstorm wind damage risk
  • Elevated flooding risk
  • Significant lightning risk
You should stay tuned to local weather forecasts. Make sure your NOAA All Hazards Radio is on and backed up by battery. If you don't own a NOAA All Hazards Radio, you should. Click the link for a previous blog post on selecting one.
