00:00Instability continues to build across central and western Missouri to the west of the St.
00:05Louis area.
00:06You can see St. Louis is still stocked in with cloud cover today.
00:10That might save them from the greatest tornado potential, but the Storm Prediction Center
00:14has upgraded tornado probabilities just to the west across central Missouri.
00:18That includes the I-70 and I-44 corridors from Springfield up to Columbia, east of St.
00:24Louis.
00:25It looks like those supercell storms could develop as early as 4 to 5 p.m. and then
00:30move into those southerly surface winds.
00:32That's where the strongest low-level wind shear is going to be located between about 5 and
00:379 p.m. eastern Missouri.
00:39Any of those storms that are able to remain isolated as they move into that stronger low-level
00:44wind shear will have the potential of producing a tornado.
00:47You can see there's a lot of motorists out here being Friday out on the interstates, I-70
00:52and I-44.
00:53So certainly stay tuned to those severe weather watches and warnings.
00:57Looks like the tornado threat could be the greatest potential, as well as some flash flooding
01:02as those storms begin to cluster late evening today across eastern Missouri into western
01:07Illinois.
01:08But the Storm Prediction Center has a slight risk out here, but with a cold upper-level
01:12low, diving southeast, that's providing some spin across the warm sector.
01:16So any supercell storms that are able to develop with that summertime moisture in the cold air
01:21aloft will have the potential of producing severe weather and an isolated tornado threat.
