Missouri Weather About to Get Wild with Wind & Heavy Rain

If you haven't already, now would be a great time to make sure your home is watertight and all loose objects in your yard are secured as Missouri weather is about to get wild with strong winds and heavy rain through nearly all of the state.

The National Weather Service in St. Louis, Missouri has a special bulletin about what will be happening in the state starting today (Thursday) through Sunday night. While severe thunderstorms are definitely possible, what you should really be concerned about is wind and rain.

When will the storms begin and what parts of Missouri will get hit hardest?

The NOAA Storm Prediction Center indicates this will be a multi-day weather event. While storms are expected to begin Thursday night, this is what Friday looks like with nearly all of Missouri in the path where severe storms are possible.

The activity on Saturday is expected to be more in the South, but parts of Missouri will still be impacted.

What will be the greatest weather threat for Missouri?

According to the National Weather Service, wind, hail and rain are the main things to watch out for as these storm systems make their way across the state over the weekend. The good news is that tornadoes are NOT expected to be a major factor, although isolated twisters are possible.
