Watching scattered storms this afternoon that could produce hail (purple). So far storms have stayed sub-severe, but small hail and heavy downpours along with lightning will be the concerns. #midmowx

More rain and storms are on the way tomorrow, and a few could be on the stronger side. Widespread severe weather isn't expected, but isolated strong wind gusts and hail are possible by late afternoon/early evening. #midmowx

Spent the morning at NWS St. Louis! I’m working on a special report focusing on the warning process during and following the Jefferson City tornado in May 2019. You’ll be able to watch our Rebuilding Mid-Missouri tornado anniversary special on May 22 at 6:30 on ABC 17 News

We have a lot of dry time this week, but we're dodging rain chances now through the weekend. Our best chance for widespread rain will be Thursday afternoon through Friday morning.

Nice downpour in Columbia as decaying storms come through just before 10:00 PM #midmowx

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for areas in pink west of Highway 63 for a few storms that could produce large hail and/or isolated strong winds. The threat is low, but we're monitoring a line of severe storms approaching the KS/MO border #midmowx

Storms developing out to our west across far western Iowa and eastern Kansas will move into Mid-MO as a broken line late tonight. A few storms could bring large hail and isolated strong winds if they can hold together. #midmowx

Sunshine has given us a nice break after a wet weekend as many areas around Mid-MO saw anywhere from 2-4'+ rainfall. I'll be tracking more chances for storms this week coming up at 5 & 6 on ABC 17 News #midmowx

The severe thunderstorm warning has been extended into portions of northern Chariton county into Macon county. This is for 60 mph winds and hail stones up to 1' in diameter. Keep in mind that this storm has had a history of producing rotation. #midmowx #CoMo #JCMO

Please make sure you have a way to wake up to tornado warnings tonight, if you don’t plan to stay up late. DO NOT RELY ON OUTDOOR SIRENS ABC 17 News

A few hundred remain without power in Saline and Pettis counties following strong wind gusts about 90 minutes ago. Our newsroom is working on collecting damage reports from there, and from Moniteau County. #midmowx

Strong non-thunderstorm winds are possible in the wake of exiting storms south of I-70 for the next few hours. We are seeing some reports of damage in Sedalia and Otterville where winds gusted to about 60 mph. #midmowx

Our first of several rounds of rain and storms is moving through now, with more storms on the way by morning. A few isolated severe storms are possible tomorrow afternoon. Here's a breakdown of the weekend severe risks across Mid-MO abc17news.com/weather/2024/0… #midmowx

WEATHER ALERT DAY: Rounds of strong to severe storms are possible between Friday and Sunday, with some uncertainty toward the end of the weekend. We are confident in high rainfall amounts between 2-3' by Sunday night. I break it down by day here: abc17news.com/weather/2024/0…

You may have heard rumblings about severe weather at the end of the week. There could be more than one round, but we're still trying to pinpoint each time frame to give you an idea of how to plan/prepare. Highest risk now looks like Fri & Sun. #midmowx

We've been talking about potential for strong to severe storms with a more active pattern this weekend. While some things are taking shape, we still have some unanswered questions. Stay tuned to the forecast this week for important updates
#CoMO , #JCMO , #MidMO , #MOwx

Light rain moves through Mid-MO tomorrow, but we have multiple rounds of rain and storms heading our way by the end of the week/weekend as the pattern gets more active. Some of those storms could be on the strong side, especially Friday and Sunday.

Protect those potted plants! Anything overly sensitive might feel the effects of frost overnight as lows dip into the mid-upper 30s. Cover it up for one more night before warmer temperatures settle in. #midmowx
