INCOMING WEATHER SYSTEM BRINGS HIGHER CHANCES OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY
A weather system that is crossing Southeast Missouri and Northeast Arkansas will give us higher chances of severe weather today.
Station Meteorologist Dan Holiday tells KWOC News what weather officials are expecting for today.
Dan Holiday
The Storm Prediction Center has upgraded our entire listening area in a moderate risk of severe weather that is a level 4 out of 5, something we don’t see very often. We know this is the time of year when severe weather occurs and what we have here in this situation is a low pressure system over Missouri, a warm front extending to our north, and a dry line approaching from the west, a lot of moisture coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. Some morning storms certainly will be ongoing then will likely get a break for a while with afternoon and evening storms, any of which could produce some widespread damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes.
In the event that a warning is issued, you will hear it on Today’s Talk KWOC.
