Weather

As we get through the first week of spring, we've had a typical taste of different weather patterns for this time of year. More early spring weather is in the forecast for the next seven days.

A cold front will move through the region and stall in our area. As warm air and moisture overrun that stalled front, strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop, mainly after midnight and persist through Friday morning.

Clouds will be slow to dissipate today and that will affect how much we warm up. But we should be able to climb into the upper 60s to near 70 degrees by this afternoon.

Rain with embedded thunderstorms can be expected today, with the best chances along and south of I-70.

Here's why it seemed and smelled smoky outside Saturday Night, March 7.

Isolated thunderstorms may occur within the greater area of rainfall expected Monday afternoon, primarily along and south of I-70. No sever weather is expected.

With it being Severe Weather Safety Week, today we look at what you thought you knew about lightning.
Ever heard the myth that 1 second between lightning and thunder means the lightning is 1 mile away? False! Divide the seconds by 5 to get the real distance...

It's Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Tuesday was the statewide tornado drill. You can prepare for upcoming severe spring weather by visiting Missouri State Emergency Management Agency.

With spring at our doorstep we're entering the peak severe weather season. One of the best ways to do that is to stay weather aware. The National Weather service has a very valuable tip to help you do just that.

Another beautiful day ahead as we creep closer to the first day of Spring. A little over two weeks of winter is left on the calendar.
