National Weather Service Meteorologist Mark Britt says storms could begin tomorrow night in western Missouri.

He says storms Wednesday night will be isolated, “that could produce some hail over parts of western and central Missouri. Then as we go into Thursday, parts of eastern and southeastern Missouri could see a few severe thunderstorms.”

Britt says storms could intensify into Thursday morning, with, “possible isolated tornadoes … but the main threat at least right now looks like some damaging winds.”

He encourages Missourians to watch for updates.
