Severe storms possible near St. Louis Wednesday

1 week ago | fox2now.com | Joe Millitzer |Chris Higgins

ST. LOUIS – The St. Louis area is under a Level 3 (out of 5) risk for severe storms Wednesday afternoon. However, there’s some uncertainty about whether we’ll see severe weather, depending on how overnight storms develop west of us. If overnight storms from Kansas stay strong and move through St. Louis around sunrise Wednesday, they may push the main area for new storms farther south and east. That would allow us to miss the worst of the afternoon severe threat.

ST. LOUIS – Forecasting the possibility for aurora viewing is incredibly challenging to predict and, like meteor showers, often falls short of expectations. But occasionally, they can overachieve and dazzle as they did several times last year. The initial wave of the solar blast, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), arrived Sunday morning, much earlier than previously predicted. Remember, I said it’s really hard to forecast these things.

ST. LOUIS – Why? A big question for just three letters. No two years are the same, but similar large-scale patterns in the atmosphere and in ocean temperatures around the globe can give us some early indications of an active severe weather season. One big clue for this year’s active severe weather season has been the slowly fading La Nina in the central Pacific Ocean.
More strong to severe storms possible Monday evening

ST. LOUIS – Following a deadly tornado Friday in the area, the St. Louis region is expecting more severe weather Monday into Tuesday. There will be a chance for a small shower or thunderstorm at just about any point the rest of Monday morning into the afternoon, but coverage looks to remain isolated and the duration brief. There will be lots of dry time during the day with a mix of clouds and sunshine. Much of the day between now and 6 p.m. looks decent to be honest.

ST. LOUIS – Warning the public about life-threatening storms is the most important thing we do as meteorologists. The night of March 14 is one that few in this area will soon forget, as multiple tornadoes touched down that night, leaving swaths of massive destruction in both Missouri and Illinois. As terrible as that was, it could have been even worse, had it not been for experimental data generated by researchers at the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) in Norman, Oklahoma.
