Severe Weather Threat Today

Active Weather Ends For The Weekend

Numerous Climate Records Fell In March

A line of thunderstorms will move into the area from the west tonight. These storms will initially be strong to severe, but will weaken as they move across the area. Severe storm chances are the greatest in central and northeastern Missouri, and fall off toward the Mississippi River. The primary threats with any severe storm will be damaging winds to 60mph. We may also see a weak tornado or two.

There is a threat for severe thunderstorms today, mainly along a cold front this evening into the overnight hours. The highest threat for severe weather will be at night, so make sure you have warning sources that will wake you up!

After a busy week weather-wise, we deserve a break! Well, just in time for Easter, cooler and dry conditions will take hold. Enjoy!

With March officially in the rearview mirror, we can now say that it was one for the record books! 15 high temperature records fell at our long-term climate sites in the region, with Quincy, IL setting the most of the three sites (6 records). Despite a few very chilly days, this March ranks as one of the warmest on record.
