Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop early this afternoon and move east. The strongest storms are expected in central/northeast Missouri and west-central Illinois. More storms may develop behind these. If this occurs, 2 inch hail, 60 mph winds, and strong tornadoes are possible.
Cooler weather and dry conditions will arrive by this weekend, but we have to get through the warm, wet mid to late week first!
