Severe Thunderstorms Possible Across the Parkland Tuesday Afternoon and Evening

Park Hill, Mo. (KFMO) - Severe thunderstorms could impact the Parkland Tuesday afternoon and evening as a slow-moving cold front moves through the region.

According to forecasters, thunderstorms are expected to develop Tuesday afternoon, with the potential for some storms to become severe. The Storm Prediction Center has included the Parkland under a slight risk for severe weather. 

The strongest storms are expected to develop across parts of northeast Missouri into west-central Illinois. However, the location where storms first form could shift depending on the exact position of the slow-moving front Tuesday afternoon.

If storms intensify, all severe weather hazards will be possible, including large hail, damaging straight-line winds, and the potential for a few tornadoes.

The most likely time for severe weather locally is expected to be late Tuesday afternoon through the early evening hours.

Forecasters say thunderstorms should weaken quickly by mid to late evening as the system moves east. However, severe storms could linger longer if atmospheric conditions become more favorable.

Residents across the Parkland are encouraged to stay weather aware throughout the day Tuesday and monitor forecasts for updates as conditions develop.
