ST. LOUIS — Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across our region by later Monday afternoon into Monday evening.
The greatest risk of severe weather will be across parts of central into southern Missouri. The main threat for areas southwest of St. Louis looks to be a few storms with large hail. While a few storms may have gusty winds, the greater threat of damaging winds seems to be even farther south.
By mid-afternoon, a few strong storms will be moving from mid-Missouri into the Rolla and Salem areas. Through the rest of the afternoon and into the early evening, other strong storms may develop across other parts of the area, with the main focus generally southwest of St. Louis.
