Storm Team 3: Severe storms possible Thursday and Friday
The stormy pattern that the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry has been experiencing will continue for the rest of the workweek. Heavy rain and storms are likely across the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry Thursday and into Friday along with a few strong to severe storms. The biggest concern on Thursday will be widespread heavy rain. Rainfall rates will be in excess of 2″ per hour with some of the stronger cells that develop. A few isolated storms may become severe with damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph as the main concern. Some hail is possible also. The best timing for storms on Thursday afternoon will be between 1 and 9 p.m. Friday will be a Weather Aware Day due to the possibility of scattered severe storms. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will again be the main threat. Hail and isolated spin-up tornadoes are possible. The tornado risk will be low, just not zero. Heavy rain and localized flooding will be an issue in areas with poor drainage. Rainfall rates will be in excess of two inches per hour. Friday's storms will be moving though the region ahead of a strong frontal boundary which will lead to strong and gusty conditions even without severe storms. Storms on Friday will begin to move in from the west around noon and will continue through the later afternoon. Most storms should be off of the coast with the cold front by 6 p.m. It is a good idea to think about what you would to in the even that a severe thunderstorm warning or tornado warning is issued for your area. Have a plan to get indoors and to the lowest level of a sturdy structure away from windows and doors. You also need a reliable way to receive critical weather alerts. A NOAA Weather Radio is a great tool to have in your home or place of work. They are dependable, even when the power and cellular service may be disrupted. Another great tool to have ready is the WSAV Weather NOW app which can receive weather alerts directly to your mobile device anywhere you are. It is free and is available in the Apple App Store or Google Play. Storm Team 3 will have you covered as conditions change, stay tuned for the latest forecast. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Severe weather threat Tuesday evening
Today is a Weather Aware Day. Strong to severe storms will be possible later this evening and into the overnight. All forms of severe weather will be possible. Please be sure that you have more than one way to receive weather alerts and make sure that your safe place is ready to be used. Our morning hours will not be active and things will stay that way into the early part of the afternoon. Afternoon high temperatures will range from the upper 60s to the low 80s. Winds will be gusty today. Gusts could reach 45 to 50 mph which has prompted a Wind Advisory. Due to the wind, warm, and mainly dry conditions before storms get going, Fire Weather Warnings will be in effect between 1pm and 8pm As a cold front moves in, a few showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop as early as 4pm or 5pm. The chance for storms will rise as we go through the evening. We will still need to be weather aware after midnight. Storms will last into the overnight as the cold front tracks east. We will be in the clear by sunrise Wednesday. The chance for strong to severe storms will shift east during the middle of the week. We will continue to be unsettled as rain moves in from the south Wednesday night into Thursday. The latter half of the week will be cooler too with rain chances lasting through the weekend.

Sunday, March 30 Forecast: Storm threat ends; cooler, dry weather brings relief
The storm threat for our area has finally passed. Cooler temperatures and drier conditions have rushed in behind the front, setting the stage for a much calmer weather pattern. Afternoon thunderstorms unleashed large hail across south-central Missouri and northern Arkansas, with many areas reporting hail sizes ranging from quarters to tennis balls. Its going to be a chilly start for Monday. Temperatures will dip into the upper 30s in the morning, and highs will struggle to break into the 50s. Skies will gradually clear as the day progresses, offering a more pleasant afternoon. Tuesday will bring warmer temperatures, with highs climbing toward the 70s, though we may fall just short by a couple of degrees. Unfortunately, the stormy weather will return by Wednesday morning. The Storm Prediction Center has already highlighted the Ozarks as an area at an enhanced risk for large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. I expect thunderstorms to roll into the Northwest during the morning hours, moving through the Ozarks by early afternoon. To prepare for the potential severe weather, our weather team has issued a Weather Aware Day for Wednesday. Following Wednesday's storms, we'll enter a soggy weather pattern. Wet conditions are expected every day from Wednesday through Sunday, with total rainfall amounts ranging from 2 to 3 inches. Download our KOLR 10 weather app Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Severe weather expected tonight; more storms on Sunday
The next 24 hours are shaping up to be quite active, as I'm tracking not one but two chances for severe weather. Let's dive into the first round, which is set to arrive tonight. Thunderstorms have developed along a cold front in Kansas and Oklahoma and are slowly making their way toward us. I expect this line of storms to reach our westernmost counties after midnight, and then move into Springfield around 2–3 a.m. The primary concerns with this storm system are large hail, lightning, and damaging winds. While a tornado is possible, the risk appears isolated and relatively low. That said, we can't rule out the chance of a brief spin-up tornado. The storms should clear out by Sunday morning as the atmosphere recovers and reloads for another round of storms later in the day. I expect thunderstorms to develop again in the afternoon, especially in our eastern counties. The highest potential for severe storms and tornado development on Sunday afternoon will be focused on South-Central Missouri and North-Central Arkansas. While not everyone will see storms, those who do will face the risk of powerful supercells. By Sunday evening, all severe weather threats will have subsided, and we'll transition into calmer, cooler weather for Monday. Highs will only reach the 50s, with sunny conditions returning on Tuesday. As for Wednesday, storms are expected to return, and we've already issued a Weather Aware Day. This will mark our next opportunity for strong storms to impact the region. Looking ahead to the start of April, the forecast is wet. Over the next 7 days, we're expecting 2 to 3 inches of much-needed rain. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
