storms

If you've lived in Illinois or Missouri, do you sometimes feel like there is a tornado magnet under our part of America? That's likely not the case, but there are definitely some places in Illinois that are more likely to get hit by a twister than others. I've located a roundup of the top 10.

We have a better idea of what to expect from storms that will move through Missouri and Illinois this week. Strong tornadoes, big hail and violent wind damage are all possible based on official forecasts now.

If you don't like the weather in Missouri and Illinois, just wait a few minutes and it's almost certain to change. That looks to be true early next week as there is a strong tornadic event that models are showing is possible for both Missouri and Illinois.

It was not a good day to have your vehicle parked outside in Missouri recently when a vicious hailstorm crossed the state leaving incredible damage in its path. A new video share shows how the storm managed to clobber virtually every car in a St. Peters, Missouri parking lot.

You can expect a radical change in the weather in Illinois near the start of the week as a fast-moving storm system will cause temperatures in the state to plummet 50 degrees (or more) in only hours.

There's good news and bad news about what many forecasters consider to be a dangerous storm system that will impact Missouri early next week. It is expected to crash Missouri temperatures and cause them to freefall more than 50 degrees in just hours, but that drop won't last long.

Missouri has had it good so far this winter. Other than a couple of severe cold snaps and a couple of storms, we really haven't had a ton of snow. Here's a history lesson to prove we're not out of the woods just yet. There are 7 times when Missouri has been slammed by a surprise snowstorm in March.

It will forever be remembered as the day when the sky tried to pound Missouri into the ground. The worst hailstorm in history that began in the Kansas City area continued across Missouri until it relented just past St. Louis nearly 23 years ago.

A famous storm chaser has noticed something that's developing in the atmosphere that could lead to a very stormy (and windy) end to February in Missouri if the models he's shared come true.

For the record, I thought Missouri tornadoes were already fierce enough. There are multiple new reports that indicate a weather change is coming to the Midwest that may very well bring 'meaner' tornadoes to Missouri.
