Forecast: More severe storms expected Monday

Sunday night into early Monday:A line of storms forming in Kansas and Oklahoma will move through Missouri and into Illinois between midnight and 6 a.m. Monday. While storms will weaken as they approach eastern Missouri, they may still bring wind gusts over 40 mph, brief heavy rainfall, and small hail. Most activity will clear the area in time for the Monday morning commute.
Monday (through 4 p.m.):The morning and early afternoon will be mostly quiet, aside from a few stray showers and occasional breezy conditions.
Monday late afternoon into Monday night:Storms will redevelop across Missouri after 4 p.m., especially along and near a warm front expected to sit near I-70. These storms may become strong to severe, particularly in areas highlighted under a Level 3 (out of 5) severe weather risk. All severe weather threats are possible, including damaging winds, hail, and a low tornado risk. As storms move east, they will likely lose some strength but could still bring heavy rainfall. Localized flash flooding is possible in low-lying or flood-prone areas.
Tuesday:Storm activity on Tuesday will depend on how much the atmosphere is disrupted by Monday night's storms. If the storms 'scrub' the atmosphere clean, most of the region could see a break. However, if the air recharges with enough instability, another round of storms could develop in the afternoon over far eastern Missouri and southern Illinois.
Tornado Survey Update:The National Weather Service has completed its survey of the tornado that hit the region Friday. It was rated an EF3 with winds up to 152 mph. The tornado traveled 22.6 miles and was nearly 1 mile wide at its peak. The most intense damage occurred in north St. Louis City, including Fountain Park, Ville, Greater Ville, and O'Fallon. Damage in Illinois was mainly to trees and rated EF0 to EF1.

Severe storms threaten Thunder-Pacers NBA Finals Game 2 tonight: Could it be delayed?
When the Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, there will be plenty of thunder and severe weather happening outside Paycom Center in the Oklahoma City metro. Current projections from the National Weather Service forecast severe storms to start after 4 p.m. at the earliest and continue until 11 p.m. at the latest over Oklahoma City. These storms are predicted to create wind gusts up to 80 mph and up to baseball-sized hail near OKC. More risky severe weather is expected in southwestern Oklahoma, but conditions can always worsen quickly. Here is what to know about severe weather chances in Oklahoma City going into Game 2 on Sunday. According to forecasts from the NWS Norman station, the Oklahoma City metro could see rain starting between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Severe weather should end by 11 p.m. in the metro, but severe weather watches, if issued, could be extended. The southeast winds could have gusts higher than 80 mph throughout the metro, even though there is low potential for a tornado. The metro area is only at an "enhanced risk" of seeing severe weather on Sunday night. Yet, these forecasts include hail up to a softball size. As of 4 p.m., the NWS has issued warnings only in southwestern Oklahoma. According to FEMA guidelines, the best places to be during a storm are a storm shelter or a basement. If you are unable to reach a shelter or a basement, FEMA recommends going to the innermost room, hallway, or closet on the lowest level of the building. According to Lucy Albers, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Paycom, the facility is prepared to accommodate for any severe weather conditions. For starters, she noted that the facility typically doesn't allow umbrellas, but due to the weather, they will make an exception and allow guests to bring them in. Because of the gambit of weather events Oklahoma can be presented, Albers also said they have to be prepared for everything. "We're a large sporting event facility in Oklahoma, so this is not the first time we've had events in some severe weather," Albers said. Leading up to events, Albers noted that leadership has discussions with the staff regarding safety protocols. During the event, the security manager is in direct contact with individuals at the NWS and staying up to date on all possibilities. Should the storm continue after the final whistle blows and remain severe enough, Albers said the Paycom Center is likely to hold guests in longer to ensure they stay as safe as possible, following a shelter-in-place protocol. Both officials with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Albers stated that should the weather become severe enough, the NBA holds the ability to make a call regarding gameplay; however, it would be communicated effectively to all parties involved.

June's strawberry moon will be unlike any you've seen in years: When to see it in California
June 2025's full moon is coming to a sky near you in the early morning hours of June 11. And while all June full moons ride low in the sky, spring's final full moon this year will be the lowest full moon in almost 20 years. The strawberry moon will rise over California on the evening of Tuesday, June 10, and will shine into Wednesday morning, a "sight that can be seen around the world," said Brian Lada, an AccuWeather meteorologist. June's full moon is called the strawberry moon because it signaled to some Native American tribes that it was the time of year to gather ripening wild strawberries, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Notably, this year's strawberry moon could actually have a reddish glow, due to how low it will sit in the sky and the haze from wildfires. June's full moon will reach peak illumination on June 11, 2025, at 12:44 a.m. PT, the Almanac said. But it will look plenty full as it rises the evening before, June 10. The strawberry moon is the most colorful of the year because it takes a low, shallow path across the sky, said Bob Bonadurer, director of the Milwaukee Public Museum's planetarium. The June full moon's arc across the sky means moonlight must travel through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which can give it a colorful tint. "So there's a chance it will actually look a little bit reddish or pink, and, and so that may also be part of the origin of the name," Chris Palma, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University, told AccuWeather. Smoke in the atmosphere from Canadian wildfires could also act to create a colorful moon. According to EarthSky, the moon will the lowest in the sky that it's been since 2006. "That's because we're in the midst of a major lunar standstill," which has to do with the moon's orbit around the Earth. "It's all about the inclination of the moon's orbit, which undergoes an 18.6-year cycle," noted EarthSky's John Jardine Goss. "The cycle happens because the moon's orbit is being slowly dragged around – mostly due to the pull of the sun – every 18.6 years." This year's major lunar standstill culminated in January 2025. And we're still close enough to it that the standstill is affecting the path of this June full moon, EarthSky said.
