“Strong to Severe Storms this Afternoon”, says NWS

UPDATE (8:55am): The NWS has increased the storm threat risk for a section of the listening area, with a 4/5 risk now being present. View below for more.

Storms will once again be present today in the Ozarks, with some areas expected to receive strong to severe storm conditions. All hazards are expected through this storm, including a small chance of tornadoes. 

Strongest storm conditions lie in eastern sections of the listening area, from roughly southeastern Oregon County, then north through Texas County and all regions east of these areas.

Nearly the entire listening area is under a risk of major hail, with baseball-sized hail being the maximum reasonable expectation. Wind probability places highest expected speeds to be at 70-80mph, and chances of a tornado in the areas of greatest concern lie at 10-14%, with EF2-3 being the maximum being expected.

Additionally, meteorologist Steve Runnels gave us his words concerning the storm.
