Strong to severe storms are expected overnight tonight. Primary hazards are high winds and large hail. A couple tornadoes are possible. Now is a good time to ensure that you have a way to receive weather warnings while you are sleeping.

As we get closer to storm start time, how are you receiving your weather alerts? *Remember outdoor sirens are not designed to be heard indoors? #mowx #kswx

For anyone that uses NOAA Weather Radio and tune into the Cameron station (162.475), it is currently not broadcasting. The Maryville station (162.425) should be a good backup option.

The severe threat for the evening has come to a close. The environment is no longer supportive of severe weather; however, winds with the passing line of storms may gust upwards of 40-50 MPH. #mowx #kswx

⚠️An additional round of strong to severe storms are possible tonight, with damaging winds and large hail being the primary threats. Be sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings before you go to bed.
