While the greatest severe weather threat will be in northeast Missouri, mid-Missouri could see severe weather late Tuesday afternoon into tonight.
National Weather Service (NWS) St. Louis meteorologist Marshall Pfahler says while the greatest tornado threat will be to our north, damaging winds, heavy rain, lightning and hail are possible in Columbia and mid-Missouri. Mr. Pfahler says the tornado threat in Columbia/Jefferson City will be lower.
He expects storms in Missouri sometime between 5-9 pm. Moberly and Mexico are in the enhanced threat area with the rest of northeast Missouri. Keep fresh batteries with your radio and keep your radio tuned to 939 the Eagle.
