MISSOURI~ Heads up..We might be in for a wild ride tonight.

Heads up, fellow Missourians! Looks like we might be in for a wild ride tonight. Looks like Tennessee might be in for it too..so make some coffee and batten down the hatches!

THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER RISK LEVEL IS...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED... ELEVATED TORNADO RISK. ELEVATED HAIL RISK. SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM WIND DAMAGE RISK. SIGNIFICANT LIGHTNING RISK. DISCUSSION... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT WILL EXTEND FROM JUST NORTH OF A LINE FROM FORT SCOTT KANSAS TO OSCEOLA AND VERSAILLES IN MISSOURI. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK WILL BE LARGE HAIL...HOWEVER STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT WILL POSE A DAMAGING WIND RISK AND A LIMITED...ISOLATED TORNADO RISK. ANOTHER AREA OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...POTENTIALLY CLIPPING SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. STORM MODE WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE SUPERCELLS...POSING A RISK OF LARGE HAIL... DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ELEVATED RISK FOR TORNADOES.

Yes, yes..but being a Missourian, yourself..you know how deceiving that calm can be

Lets just hope it blows through fast!

Yes I am in Missouri and I am ready. I have flashlights,batteries,crank powered radio, battery operated TV and charged cell phone. My apartment is on the walk out basement level so I will just go into the bathroom. My gf said if it gets too bad tonight we should sleep in the bathroom.(lol). It is about 40 degrees what I am wondering is are they anticpiating a warm up? 40 degrees typically does not produce severe thundertsorms or tornados. We are under a severe thunderstorm watch.
I am also charging up my video camera to get some video of the severe weather. I have been in so many tornado warnings and severe weather that while I am scared I am used to it. It does seem the storms last year were more voilent though.

I wonder if you can have tornados with snow still on the ground?
We have snow on the ground and it is raining.

Hope no one gets hurt, keep us updated how you guys are..

I'm in FL, know the feeling, we just had a weird outbreak
mid. jan. tornadoes all over, they were small thank God..
Not much you can do for a tornado except watch for
funnel clouds and stay down....

Good luck, BE safe!!

Yes, TY..and I remember those tornadoes there in FL..very strange, indeed, but seems the weather all over the earth is a bit bizarre lately

That is weird.
Well down by ottawa they have severe storms right now. I am in Kansas City,mo and we are under a flood watch,(no suprise there since we have 4 inches of snow on the ground.) and severe thunderstorm watch. IN ottawa they are experiencing ping pong ball sized hail and it is moving northeast. If it gets here after dark there won't be a lot of problems unless the temps drop below freezing and we may be talking about thunder snow or ice storm.

Good luck. I hope nobody gets hurt. Ditto about being in Florida and the weird storms in January!
