Central US Braces for Severe Thunderstorms and Tornadoes.

Two rounds of severe storms are expected to hit central and northeastern Missouri late Tuesday afternoon into the night, with the risk of very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, including strong tornadoes in northeast Missouri. There is uncertainty as to whether or not storms will develop in the direct vicinity of Kansas City. It is recommended to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and stay weather-aware. Colder weather is expected on Wednesday and Thursday after the storms pass.
