www.facebook.com/MissouriSevereWeather/posts/1883571518561798HELP SPREAD THE WORD - SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK POSSIBLE SATURDAY: #MOwx
UPDATED: Friday, 26 May 2017

We've been talking about for a few days and all signs are pointing to a significant severe weather event across the state of Missouri on Saturday. Let's put some details out there.

A potent storm system is gathering strength and will impact the entire state of Missouri on Saturday. A complex of storms is expected to form over Nebraska late tonight and approach the state of Missouri. As that happens, a warm front will sit across roughly along the I-70 corridor through the day on Saturday. Two things look to happen Saturday across the area:

1. Isolated, but very severe supercell thunderstorms will develop in the "warm sector" of this weather system. Consider this to be the red or "moderate" risk area on the map. This area have a ton of atmospheric scene, extremely unstable air and will be the prime location for widespread severe weather. These storms will breakout through the early afternoon into the early evening. The potential for hail between 2-3" in diameter are possible (egg to baseball size). In addition, damaging winds and several tornadoes are possible (even likely)

2. Through the day, the aforementioned complex of storms in Nebraska from the overnight hours will move into northwest Missouri in the morning. This complex will gather strength and move across the state between 1-10 p.m. The primary threat with this complex will be damaging winds as high as 80 mph (and even high in some cases), large hail up to 2" and a few tornadoes.

Those are the details and while they are important, let's not get too bogged down in the colors on the severe weather outlook map and the exact time -- those will change. You NEED to be prepared for significant severe weather all day... for the supercell storms that develop during the afternoon and the complex of storms that moves through as well. Each will be very dangerous.

It is VITAL that you have a way to receive weather information AND a way to seek sufficient shelter when these storms move in. If you're going to be camping, boating, hiking or anything else outside, have a severe weather plan.

Please check back here on Facebook and on Twitter (@WeatherEbner) for updated later this evening and through the day on Saturday.
