And we would love to see video of any storm footage you may get (safely!). You can upload that using our Now Local News App HERE. 

Damaging wind will be the main threats as the afternoon and evening progresses.

An isolated tornado is a possibility as storms form and evolve. The higher chance will be for those in the brown shaded area, but those in the green shaded area have a small chance, as well.

Large hail will be more likely with the earlier storms further west. Smaller hail is still possible with storms as they move through our area.

The latest short range weather models show storms moving into SE Missouri, western Kentucky, and southern Illinois around 7pm.
