Batten down the hatches as we get closer to the end of the week as severe storm chances for parts of Missouri and Illinois just doubled according to national weather forecasters.
Hopefully by now you know that both Missouri and Illinois are right in the middle of what could be explosive thunderstorm development beginning Friday, March 14, 2025. When I first shared that warning from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, that chance was 15%. The new outlook is terrifying.
What was a slight 15% chance of severe weather development has now become 30% for the southeastern half of Missouri and southern Illinois, too.
What do these numbers really mean for Missouri and Illinois storm development for Friday?…
