A significant severe weather event is unfolding in the St. Louis region, bringing the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes. The National Weather Service has issued a rare "high risk" severe weather outlook—level 5 out of 5—indicating a particularly dangerous setup that could produce multiple long-lived EF3 or stronger tornadoes across the mid-Mississippi and lower Ohio valleys.
Multiple tornado watches are in effect across Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma as a strong storm system moves eastward. St. Louis and surrounding areas are at risk of supercell thunderstorms that could generate large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. According to the Storm Prediction Center, cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Little Rock, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville, and Dallas-Fort Worth are also in the path of potential severe weather.
The most intense storms are expected to develop late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, with peak storm activity occurring between 6 AM and noon. Some forecast models suggest isolated storms could arrive earlier, bringing additional threats before the main storm line moves through the area.
