Conditions capable of supporting strong to severe storms remain in the forecast, likely to develop late Tuesday afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center continues to have Level 1-3 out of 5 risks for severe storms in our area, highest across our southeast. All severe weather hazards are possible, including tornadoes.

Repeating rounds of thunderstorms with heavy rainfall may produce flash flooding for portions of the region, particularly for Tuesday night from northeast Missouri into north central Illinois. River rises and flooding are also possible, so those along the rivers should prepare for potential flooding!

With strong to severe storm potential in the forecast for Tuesday, make sure you're prepared! Have multiple ways of receiving warnings. Also, know your places of shelter, especially if you plan to be out and about. Have a family communication plan, and ensure you have emergency supplies!
