We will have a chance of strong to possibly severe thunderstorms today and tonight.
Heavy rain is also a concern.
If thunderstorms train over the same areas then rainfall totals could exceed two inches in some locations.
Training storms can cause flash flooding. Let’s be aware of that as we push through the next 24 hours.
Some of the storms could produce damaging wind and hail.
The severe weather risk is a bit muddled because of ongoing showers and thunderstorms that extend from the Missouri Bootheel into western Tennessee.
Clouds and precipitation can reduce instability. Instability is one ingredient in severe thunderstorm development.
Monitor watches and warnings. A watch means to monitor updates. A warning means to seek shelter.
Here are some storm tracking links.
We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars. If a radar does not update then try another one. If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5. You may also try restarting your browser.

Example of a recent severe weather alert. I issued this well before the official tornado warning. You would have had plenty of time for you and your family to seek shelter.
I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging. We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather. The app typically will receive the messages instantly. I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.
Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated. You are being given personal attention during significant weather events.
