Update: Missouri Storms Live Under Slight Risk Today, Mid-South Follows Saturday — SevereWX
Following our recent coverage of the incoming storm setup, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has now issued Slight Risk outlooks pinpointing key cities as the threats unfold.
Today, Friday, July 10: A Slight Risk covers Kansas City, MO, St. Louis, MO, and Springfield, MO. This means isolated severe thunderstorms could develop, mainly this afternoon and evening.
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 11: The Slight Risk shifts south to Huntsville, AL, Nashville, TN, Little Rock, AR, and Memphis, TN, with similar isolated storm potential.
A Slight Risk from the SPC indicates a lower-end severe weather probability, where isolated thunderstorms may produce damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph, hail around nickel- to quarter-size, and a very low chance of a brief tornado. These storms are expected along lingering boundaries and instability zones, evolving from yesterday's patterns.
While not widespread, any severe storm can pack a punch—stay vigilant. Monitor your local National Weather Service office for the latest warnings, radar updates, and have a severe weather safety plan ready, like identifying a safe room in your home.
