The Weather Service says large hail and damaging winds are likely and tornadoes are possible. A tornado watch is now in effect for 71 Missouri counties and the City of St. Louis until 10 p.m. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 5 p.m. for 32 counties across northern Missouri.

Flooding is also a threat with this system, with forecasted rainfall totals as high as more than four inches in north-central Missouri through the Kansas City area. The heavy rainfall will be falling on already saturated ground, increasing the threat for flooding. Flood watches and warnings extend through most of the state except southeast Missouri.

Another round of severe weather is possible late tonight and Thursday morning.
